Backing up our Windows 2000 Fileserver

At my company we have a lousy old Windows 2000 PC that we use as a "Fileserver". Unfortunately it's not even being backed up, even though I'm using Carbonite to back up everyone's PC. Carbonite does not work on Windows 2000, but I think I finally found something that we can use - Migo Software's PC Backup Pro. I'm giving it a shot, it's not expensive and it has a lot of neat features such as the ability to back up to CD/DVD, hard drive, or even across our network. It's critical that we get this backup going because most of our client files are stored on the fileserver so everyone can access them. I can't imagine the trouble we'd be in if the fileserver crashed...thinking about it, and knowing how old and decrepit that old box is makes me (almost) want to run into work right now and install the Migo Backup stuff.

Next up on my IT to do list is some sort of version control software. I recall buying something years ago for this purpose but it was so hard to configure that I never wound up using it. Any suggestions are welcome.
