Browsing the net I found this:

Would it be possible to build something similar with openSUSE?

In particular, are there backup solutions that allow to backup other
PC's automatically with a Windows client too, in a user-friendly manner?

Bacula can do this. (http://bacula.org/en/)
The media sharing doesn't seem a problem.

Bacula is good , but the GUI (bat) is not suitable for anything but
professionals. Bacula is also a big system and not the easiest to set
up.

We use Bacula at work and has a support agreement with Bacula Systems,
so I'm a bit aquainted with it.

Another possibility is rsnapshot , http://rsnapshot.org/howto/ . For
everyday usage it would require a GUI though....
