Network data backup
Here the situation ... my network having netware, windows 2000 and linux system ..Now i having a new server ... i want to use this server to backing up all the data from all those server (linux, netware and win2k) what technique should i use and how ??? I want the server able to backing up data from those server at a schedule time ... can i done that ????
You don't say what operating system the new server is, but a commercial application is going to be needed to handle RIGHTS on the other servers. Generally, an agent is loaded on the target server, a program that prepares files for streaming to the backup servers and catalogues access control list and can handle directory services and registry backup.
BrightStor, Backup Express, Legato and Hiback come to mind.
If you can be more specific, such as mail systems and databases to be backed up, the OS on the 'new server', what DS you're running, and what you're doing for backup now, maybe we can help further.

we dont decide what OS that need to going to .. it depend with what software we going to use then the software using what OS then we going to use that OS .... the thing is we just got the mind to want to do that ... we want to know that the cost .. the technique that needed is this case....
anyway the file taht we going to backing up is those database, files like ours program ... i mean the program is that the program that we done it in house ... nvm ... i will try to figure out the software that name by you all ... then i will back to you all ....
for this moment other who got the other idea ... i welcome them giving their suggestion .... thanks

Short of using something commercial, you are starting to talk some pretty nasty setup. You could probably set up Windows on the backup server, use the Gateway Service for Netware to talk to your Novell server and then Samba to access the Linux box an back up that way, but I wouldn't do it.
But that's just my thought on the matter. Maybe someone else knows of some freeware stuff?
Good luck!
