If you have ACL support enabled on you Samba server make sure your
backup solution supports backing up meta-data and extended attributes. 
99 of out 100 do NOT.

Our solution (even after looking at commercial packages) has been to use
XFS filesystems and xfsdump/xfsrestore.

And crazy expensive.

I use Bacula and have no problems with it.  It took a while to understand
how to set it up, however.

I have read good things about Arkeia (www.arkeia.com).  They have a light
version that is free.

One of our clients uses Tapeware by Yosemite Technologies
(www.tapeware.com).  It is good enough for Dell and Seagate to bundle it
with their products.  You can use the evaluation copy for 30 days.

As usual, you need to test, test, test before using them in production
environments.

Hope this helps.
