I've not done this for a church, but yes......I've "done it." I used ONLY SUSE 
Linux........set up a server for multi-use, including files. You can set 
permissions as you like. Install an ADIC DLT tape backup, and you're all set. 
You can backup the server(s), and/or all desktops. DLT is the fastest and 
more reliable backup I've ever setup.
