There are many, many backup applications out there which will meet your needs - which to use is a subjective decision you must make for yourself based on your environment & specific requirements. My suggestions are based on the experience I have and what work for me.
Rsync is an open source linux/OSX application that has been ported to Windows (eg DeltaCopy) but which can be difficult to use under Windows due to differences between the OS. Therefore for new users I would still recommend an application designed specifically for windows like syncback. Rsync is used internally by CCC on OSX. Not sure about SuperDuper as I don't use it - I use CCC - just know it is very popular & highly regarded among Mac users.
I would not recommend that you try to "pull" data from your clients via Frontview Backup - while it can be done, options are very limited. A backup application running on the client is a far easier to use and more capable option
Your next step should be to try the various applications
