What we are moving towards for back-ups is to have large IDE drives on a "back-up" machine with partitiona NFS and SMB exported to the client machines (partitioning based on the nature of the clients and their use and who you're happy to see what etc.). Client machines then have an easy time doing as much backing up as they may want. We then shoot the data on the IDE drives to dat once a week or whenever ... with this way you'd also be happy enough to unmount the disk.
