I've used Arcserve in an environment with a mix of 50 odd NT server and 140 netware servers with all Arcserve servers managed from a central point and IMHO opinion found it to be an excellent product. It does cost money, but so does the recovery of data.
It all depends on what you need. We use Arcserve to backup NT, W2K, Linux and Netware every night with no problems.
Backup software seems like an OS, Some people love one, but hate the other. You use whatever you are comfortable with and what meets you needs

ObDisc: I have one comment about ArcServe - UGH. What an abortion of a
piece of software. It should have been strangled before birth.
Having said that - IIRC, there _was_ an agent which allowed you to backup
NFS volumes. It's possible you could interface this with Linux.
Expect extra cost. _Everything_ with ArcServe is extra cost.
