How to organize an automatic backup from a PC in an AD domain?

Question

Active Directory

There is a corporate network. PC in the domain, everything works.
It is necessary to make backup copies of documents "just in case" from each PC (ie, to the director in a safe).
Tell me what is the best way to do it? (So ​​that without running around and in general it is better not to disturb the user in any way).
Ideas like this come to mind: Create [somehow] a task in the scheduler and deploy it through group policy. Or use [some] software that can automatically deploy over the network and pick up settings (which folders and where to copy).
For the future, I plan to make a remap of the desktop folders and documents somewhere on the server in a folder. Until then, you need to get out.
Oh yes, it is desirable not to put the network with multi-threaded copying, so special thanks for the tips / solutions where you can steer time or speed

Ready-made solutions are paid.
Author. On the controller, write a script that will take a remote folder, say this: \\192.168.0.34\c$\Users\Vasya\Desktop
or any other folder and copy it wherever you want. For example, male rsync, let's say on the NAS: \\nas\backup\host-Vasya
You write a batch file and run it on the controller as a domain administrator.
At the appointed time, you will start copying. If there are not many computers, then in turn, if there are many, it is possible at the same time, say at night.
