Remote Backup Software?

I have 3 machines (HTPC, Desktop, Netbook) that I'd like to backup to a single drive on the Desktop. The HTPC & Desktop are running Win7 Enterprise and the netbook has Win7 Pro. I had WHS2011 on the HTPC but decided that I didn't need a server at this point in time, hence the move to Win7 Enterprise.

That said, is there a piece of software (shareware or purchased) that allows remote backups over the internet?

Food for thought...should I just take an old 1TB WD and throw it in an external HDD and hook it up to router/HTPC and make that the default backup drive?

That doesn't make much sense though because then it's just an external hard drive.

CrashPlan will work. I backup my pictures to my parents computer half a state away. And they backup some stuff on mine.

Edit:
By the way sorry about the ACC title. Go Tigers! Now we both have to win our BCS bowls. Good Luck.

Another vote for crashplan. Relatively simple to setup and use and it works well...good enough for me.
