        I understand that, this person using netatalks, he wants to have a
Unix based, preferably free, backup solution. I don't think Retrospect
is so, is it?

        One popular unix backup solution is ArcServe, there must be a mac
client, it runs on most unix platform, excluding Unix, but then, there is
an SCO version that can be run through iBCS, for what it's worth.

        I did not manage to install SCO yet -- ArcServe comes bundled with
it -- hence I don't know much more about it.
