I'm having particular issues running Veritas in my Windows environment. The agent just seems to baulk on some servers. I've looked into backup solutions running on Linux before but there doesn't seem to be much. Is anyone familiar with something that has Windows agents and yet managed by Linux?

Amanda will backup Win boxes via smbclient, and there's also a couple of projects out there to run the amanda client natively on Windows (I think via cygwin, but I'm not sure). There are the usual issues with open files and the like, but it works well enough. http://www.amanda.org
