Hi Chris,

It sounds like BackupPC does more than you need, but it is still the best 
solution I can recommend.  I'm an Ubuntu admin, so ...

It looks like there is an error in the backuppc package you have.  
"/user/bin/nmblookup" should be in "/usr/bin/", not "/user/bin".

If that's just a mistake in your copy/paste, my next guess is missing 
dependency.  BackupPC should have a correct list of required packages, but 
some are marked as optional.  There is no harm in installing them manually, 
and then forcing apt to install anything else it is missing in order to 
complete the BackupPC install.

apt-get install smbclient libfile-rsyncp-perl rrdtool par2
apt-get -f install

Which ubuntu server release are you running?  If hardy, you may want to use my 
updated packages:
