I use Amanda at work. While very capable it's not very user friendly.

Bacula could also be a good choise. Very little experience with it, but
it seems more user-friendly:

Neither will do Lotus Domino "live" backup, unless you can disable
"writes" to the DB while the file is being copied. You best bet, with
almost any solution, would be to backup a dump of the DB.
The O'Reilly "Backup & Recovery" Book (isbn 978-0-596-10246-3) is a good
read on the topic if you really want to read more on the subject.
Remember: your backups are only as good as your last successful recovery
test.

I'm looking for a new backup solution and am hoping to do this under
Linux. Here is what I have now :
#1 : CentOS 5.5 i386 - Samba File server
#2 : CentOS 5.5 i386 - rsync of above, Basic LAMP (internal Dev)
#3 : WS 2008 x64 - Lotus Domino 8.5, MS-SQL 2008 Express, MySQL 5.1
#4 : WinXP - MySQL 5.0 Symantec Endpoint Protection, BackupExec 12d,
LTO3 full-height tape drive
#5: FC3 (TB replaced) - Asterisk-based phone server

I'm getting a new file server (Replaces #1) with a 5.25" bay free and
am considering porting #4's MySQL onto it, porting SEP to #3 (or going
pure-client AV), and doing away with #4 box entirely. For this I
would be looking at a half-height LTO5 drive.
I never expect to be able to restore from bare-metal. My Samba setup
is very simplistic and makes everything easy to just drop things back
afterward. The big trouble item is that Lotus Domino server. What
will properly be able to back up those DBs?
I am seriously hoping there is a FOSS backup solution that will leave
me equally "warm& fuzzy".
So, what options do I have here? BackupExec never seems to play nice
with Domino so my primary goal is having it gone while supporting the
rest.
