need a bit of software for an XP workstation, that will run a backup as a service
You assign the user credentials on which to run the tasks as on XP.  As long as it is running on a service account that has a password that doesn't expire that should work pretty well.

How about a Scheduled Task running a batch file running XCOPY or ROBOCOPY?  Better yet, you may be able to use a syncing program that only copies over the changes (ala RSYNC).  On my Vista box, you can check a box that makes Scheduled Tasks run even when no user is logged on – I’m guessing XP can do the same?
