Hello netland,

  the simplest way to do a PC backup to a remote unix machine is
via PC-NFS (distribud by SUN Microsystems). On the Unix machine
you should also run NFS and the rest is only mounting a directory
from the unix machine which will be identified as a normal disk drive
by the PC. 
For backing up the PC you can use the normal PC-DOS backup/restore
programs. Sharing of printers (a printer connected to the unix machine i
is visible to the PC) is also possible.

best regards
