IBM sells a (ahem) wonderful product to do this, the Workstation Data Save
Facility.  Allows you to back up DOS, AIX, OS/2, SunOS and Mac clients
to a central VM mainframe.  The follow-on product, DFSMS, supports the same
clients and both VM and MVS mainframes.

Backup and restore are completely automatic; you can retrieve previous versions
of files; both disk and offline media are supported in a storage hierarchy;
etc.   Designed to back up all your PCs and workstations without strain.
