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?
