Lee: In my opinion it depends on your goals. It would be easy enough to setup a Linux box with Samba, map a share called e.g. 'Backup', and then use ntbackup to schedule routine backups to that share. Although ntbackup is quite basic, it would fit the requirements you outlined, and cover you to a limited extent.
Alternatively, you could take your pick of backup software for Windows (Backup Exec, ShadowProtect...) and use that to backup to the shared drive. That's what I have done/would do at least.
