        I've recently implement Veritas' Backup Exec software (Backup
server is
NT) (formerly owned by Seagate) (www.veritas.com). The current version
is very robust and has nice remote management capabilities. Among other
things it backs up a TON of different UNIXs. Support for various
distributions of Linux (including 5.2 and 6.0, which we are runnin
Netatalk on) is included in their 'multi-server' version. 
        This program backs up ALL Linux file perfectly (including
Windows,
OS/2, Mac files residing on the server). I recommend buying the software
from Micro Warehouse (
http://www.warehouse.com/DataComm/Networking_Software/Utilities/Back_Up/
) as they have the best prices available.

        Just though I'd share..... :)
