I am currently forced to use BackupExec running on NT to bacup UNIX clients
(Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD), and can tell you:
RUN AWAY!
We have actually seen the backup software cause corruption in files as
they are backed up.
I'd recommend that if you really want to use BackupExec, use dump to create
disk-based 'backup images' and either drop them to an NT filesystem for the
BackupExec suite to save, or aim BackupExec at a samba share... We are
using Amanda to backup to disk, then dropping those files to an NT box.
