I threw together a Perl script that uses tar and external firewire
drives. Tar has flags that will let it backup over SMB (for the windows
boxes) and one can always do use scp (via certificates) piped through
tar for remote linux/BSD boxes. I've been using this solution across
several platforms (all servers) for a year now, and it has worked well.

Some friends of mine need a backup solution that can
easily handle regular, automated backups from some M$
Win 2k and Linux workstations as well as an OpenBSD
3.8 based Samba file server that I had set up for them
a while ago.
I've used FreeBSD 5x running Bacula at another site,
but I am looking for an all OpenBSD solution so I
don't have to install another box running
FreeBSD/Bacula on their site since they already have 2
OBSD boxes up and running (perfectly thanks to OBSD) -
one for firewall/router/nat/squid and one for the
Samba fileserver. I would like to add the backup
solution to the file server box since its not heavily
loaded at all. Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.
