backup spanning across multiple network HDs?

I can't seem to find a programm that does this.
I have a server with 4HDs, lets say 15GB each. I have a desktop with a
55 GB HD.
Now i want to backup the desktop 55 GB HD to the server...
So the backup programm would need to span the data acros the 4 server
HDs.

Thing is, i'd prefer it if the programm did not use a native file
format to do this....so either zip or leave the files as is and
basically 'copy'.

I've been at this for 2 days and tried a bucket load of programms but
sofar only NTI "backup now" came close, if only it didn't do it in
it's ow native file format ...*.NBF

Anyone know of a util that does this?

Cheers,

Willem
 
Spanning across 4 disks sounds like it could stand to be a bit more simple.
What OS are you using? NT/2000/XP come with NTbackup which is a
surprisingly good backup application. If you REALLY wanted to backup your
desktop to those 4 drives, you could schedule 4 different backup jobs each
with a separate portion of the 55GB source.

WinZip?
