Backing up Samba shares with Seagate Backup Exec for NT

[Cary T. Conrad]

After thinking about this I would think that you should be able to backup
shares on any SMB machine as long as the login/passwd for the B.U.E.
account are the same on both machines. However, another way to do this is
to install the UNIX B.U.E. agent on the UNIX machine.
