remote backup from Windows PCs

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

Hi,

I have a server running Debian with a tape drive and I want to back up
some Windows PCs to it (via LAN). I could use smbmount and regular Linux
backup tools (tar or whatever), but the Windows PCs aren't always on.

So I'd prefer that backups are initiated on the remote PCs, and that
even the file set to backup was controlled on the remote PCs. All the
Linux server is doing then is streaming the data to tape.

Can anyone recommend some software to achieve this?

thanks,
Hamish
