Forget proprietary software and its issuese:
Just install a shadow-copying service on the PC, and use hardware (RAID) mirroring.
Shadow-copying prevents damage from software-related things (and human "errors"), while the RAID protects the hardware-side of the picture.

In my experience that's always been the best way to keep things secure *without* the hassle, cost, and slow-downs associated with daily backups and manual recoveries.
