Thanks to all of you who responded - especially Richard Westlake, Anthony
Talltree and Randy Dees.  There were a ton of good suggestions - ranging
from free to extremely expensive.

Here is the breakdown (with a reader's digest version of the high/lowlights.

Amanda (www.amanda.org).  Freeware & is ported to most flavors of UNIX.
Supports a wide range of storage systems.  NT backups can be done in
conjunction with Samba - but I'm presuming it can't backup the registries.

Arkeia (www.arkeia.com).  Commercial software - but much cheaper.  Seems
fully featured compared to Veritas or Legato.  They charge about 30% of what
Legato wanted.  

Other suggestions were AMASS software from adic (www.adic.com).  This was
more geared to archiving solutions, but interesting.  Backup Exec was
suggested (apparently they are coming out with a UNIX module soon).  BRU2000
was mentioned - but doesn't support NT.
