You can still use Areca but you have to mount the samba share in your
linux client instead just accessing it, as simple as issuing "mount -t
cifs -o ..." before you want to run the backup routine and umount it when
you finish; you shouldn't face any problem with this :-?
I can't recommend any application because I finally moved to "tar" which
I thought it was going to be the most reliable solution in the end :-),
but Wikipedia has an extensible list of backup sofware that can give you
some ideas:
