Just so the original question does get answered, I have successfully used Backup Exec to backup FreeBSD/Linux/Solaris boxes with no real pain to mention. Veritas attempts to hide the fact they have agents for UNIX within backup exec but they are present, you just have to do a little digging on the Veritas web site. The only catches to the entire setup if you wish to use BackupExec is that the backup server must be a windows machine and for backing up FreeBSD machines you must use compat linux.
