[netatalk-admins] Backup?

I have a Linux (RedHat) system running netatalk for user home directories
and two additional volumes: /homes itself, and another "folder".

I want to be able to back this stuff up, and I don't want to lose anything.

The backup machine is currently a G3 PowerMac running 8.5 and Retrospect.
It's the backup machine because it has the CD-R drive and the DAT drive.

Is there anything I can do that's clean and simple?

I could try to convince the company to buy a DAT drive to hang off the
Linux server...

I could write some script that cron would use to push the files over FTP to
the G3 (after installing an FTP server on the G3)...

I could write a similar script to pull the files over FTP from the Linux
server to the G3...

But is there anything I can do with the netatalk stuff?
