Where does the users data reside?
In a domain network they should all have a home directory which resides on a network share.
All user data documents spreadsheets etc should be saved there.

Then the normal backup procedure would backup the data.

If on the local computer that poses another concern.
1. loose a hard drive then the user looses all data. Not a good practice to keep company information on a local hard drive.

there are utilities  or scripts can be written that will copy files/folders to a network share.
those scripts can be run on a timely basis you could setup something like rsync to do that process.

Many options.

Do you mean local data on PCs?
Or User-Objects in your ActiveDirectory-DB?

Normally with such a user count I would try to keep the users own Data away from local PCs (for example folder redirection or other policy)

local data on PCs.
I would then create a script to copy the data from each users computer data folders to a network share

Create a gpo to run this script at shutdown and logoff times

You really should set up the save folders on all machines to a network share

The above will need a little work

Let us know if you need help with that
