I'm with Dan, these are more of suggestions then recommendations. As
previously noted elsewhere, I use Mondo Rescue to back up a samba server to
CD-RW. It works very well, although the documentation for the command line
switches can be a little confusing at first. Once you get it set though,
it works (and that's what counts! ;-)

I back up another box to a 20GB IDE Seagate tape drive. I really wanted to
get Arkeia to work (License=Free to backup 3 boxes (1 server/2 clients))
but it didn't like the IDE tape drive (even in IDE-SCSI mode). I ended up
using a home brewed script to do the job with tar. Eh, it ain't pretty but
it works with the tape drive...
Anyway, Arkeia's something you might have a look at if you have SCSI Tape:
