[Samba] samba backup software

[Henrickson, Den]

We're using Syncsort Backup Express to backup about 1/2 TB to an ADIC
Scaler.  It works well but the sales people leave a little to be desired and
it's expensive.  Email me offlist if you want more details.

I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers.
Here's are some specs to consider:
 
- 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data
- multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server
(preferably a linux system)
- using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system)
- need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full
backup
 
Currently I'm using Backup Exec from NetWare.  The *nix client has no
support to do anything but a full.  The archive bit obviously won't work,
and backing up based on date doesn't seem to work either (it still does a
full).  I'm interested in finding a native linux solution since I don't see
a lot of point in having to use a Windows server with a *nix client when I'm
trying to get away from Windows.
 
If you have suggestions or are using something you are happy with, please
respond.  Currently, I'm evaluating Novastor's Novanet 8.5.  I know there
are others that I can eval, I'm just interested in finding out what others
are using and happy with.
 
Thanks.
