I've just realised my NAS supports ftp.

So using Webmin's 'filesystem backup' command which uses dump and restore I can setup scheduled backups without loading Samba.

Ideally I would like to copy the OS too, but my understanding is this isn't possible because files are constantly being changed, is this correct?

As long as I can back up my data, its not a major problem as I can run Norton Ghost from a floppy to burn an image of the OS.
