Personally I'd have a look at Dantz Retrospect as v6 for Windows now
supports Linux clients.  You can try it before you buy it ...

http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=trial_terms&product=professional

or

http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=trial_terms&product=single_server

or

http://www.dantz.com/index.php3?SCREEN=trial_terms&product=multi_server

Note that ONLY the Multi Server version supports Linux clients.

With Retrospect you'll be able to automate backups of whatever you want to
whatever you want however often you like with your choice of normal, recycle
or new media backups.

Note that Retrospect runs under Windows ... you install client software on
the Qube3 or RaQ and "suck" data across the LAN.
