Best backup solution

I am a web developer and have a wwwroot folder with upto 40 sites contained. Any of these sites could be amended at any point in time so I am looking for suggestions for a good reliable backup solution that can achieve the following;

1) Backup my wwwroot directory either automatically or manual runnning

2) Take a complete copy of the directory and store so I can jump back to any point in time either restore a whole directory or just take files out that I require

What I don't want is something basic that overwrites the existing data so I only ever have one version.

I have tried version control solutions such as Tortoise, Git etc but these are far too complicated for what I want.

At the moment I am taking a zZip of the entire directory each morning and then dating it and storing it. This takes about 45 mins as the directory is 1.5GB.

I am on Win7

Suggestions please??

Hi Riaan,

Thank you for your suggestion, I have had a look at the Synology site and the product looks really good. Disk space is not an issue here and ideally I want low cost but I was able to download the Data Replicator software, install and setup to use another resource other than the NAS device which is great!
I have run a back up and it seems to be exactly what I am after. Thank you for your help on this. Much appreciated.

Regards
Leigh
