What we do currently is mount the drives via netatalk, and then do a
retrospect backup, though we plan on moving to just getting a tape drive
to backup, as it's usually important to backup up your /etc and other
important sysconfig directories regularly, and I don't think anybody would
recommend mounting critical system directories ( ie /etc/rc.d ) via
netatalk. ( I think think that this has been disabled for the most part
by not letting root login via netatalk though.)

I have a Linux (RedHat) system running netatalk for user home directories

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?
