I have a simliar situation, I used robocopy which is a part of win 2003 resource kit, I created a batch file that runs on the server with the backup software and copies all data as it changes. Then use backup exec to backup the data on a night.

Although at the moment I am testing backup exec 10d, which is a true disk to disk to tape system. This seems really robust and straight forward to use so I would take a look.
Hope this helps

DFS combined with FRS in 2000 or 2003 server will provide this functionality. I suggest moving on up to R2 if you want to use DFS for this function because of the new bit replication. This new replication only replicates the bits in a file that have changed instead of replicating the entire file each time it's changed. Everything you want to do will be handled by DFS. You can setup the "backup" server as a failover or you can set this up to load balance between them. Here's a link to the MS Step by Step guide to R2 DFS.
