One way to backup data in a mixed NT/Samba-network is AMANDA.

ItŽs a good way to backup data without having headaches all the
time.

It has to be told that it ainŽt a perfect bare-metal-recovery-solution
right now, being limited by the way MS Windows handles files like the
registry, but for backing up decent amounts of user data it is definitely
worth a look.

Start at www.amanda.org, get your copy of the sources.
Read the manuals, try to set it up, then come back to the
amanda-users-mailing-list for anything missing.
