Backing up linux machines with Backup Exec

[Andy Zbikowski <andyzb@ltiflex.com>]

I'm trying to come up with a more intigrated backup plan now that we
have a nice big DLT drive that can backup every server on one tape.
Right now it backups up the NT machines, and the Linux machines backup
via amanda to a DDS drive. 

So I'm sitting here, thinking to myself...how can I tie the backups
together. Hmm. Well, first of all theres the backup method. Should I
just tarball /, use dump, or amanda? 

Then there's how to get the backup archive to a place where Backup Exec
can get it. SAMBA doesn't work, because two of the Linux machines are on
the external network and the third internal.  Amanda is appealing
because it's allready pulling in the backups. Maybe I could simply smb
share the dumpfiles so backup exec can get them. 

The other option would be to scp the archives from the external machines
to the internal machines and use samba from there. Any thoughs?
