Mac issues in a SmBusSvr network

I have recently assumed the responsibilities of a
SmBusSvr2000 office. They are graphic intensive and have
6 Mac's for design purposes. They also have 17 PC's as
workstations for other daily activity. The Mac's share
files via a Mac volume on the SmBusSvr - no issues. The
Mac volume is for sharing of graphics production files
that all are working on - no issues here.

Owners want "all data" on "all" systems backed up nightly
to a separate "Backup Server". Problem is - none of the
Mac's can be browsed via the Server. I seem unable to map
any Mac's Hard drive. So other than the Mac Volume share,
I can not see anything Mac related.

How do I bring the Mac's into "My Network Places" so they
are viewable ?? How do I set up the nightly backups of
the Mac hard drives ?

I am perfectly willing to I have overlooked
something .... could someone tell me what it is ?

Wouldn't it be nice if Macs and PCs could play in the same sandbox? Without
some kind of help (Dave on the Macs or PCMACLan on the the PCs) you're Macs
aren't going to see the PCs and visa-versa. However, it looks like Dantz
has a product (Retrospect for Windows) for cross-platform use. I believe it
requires a piece of client software to be installed on each computer.

(Retrospect has owned the Mac backup market for a long time).
