Re: Enterprise Backup

I'd look at CommVault if you really want to go Enterprise level.

Its not cheap, but it does everything listed below, and lots more.
I've been using it for almost three years, and I'm pleased with it.

We backup 40 workstations per night to two 750GB SATA drives, and then
things get offloaded to an LTO2 library that holds 28 tapes.  For 40
workstation and servers, I end up having to shuffle tapes once a week
at most.

Bacula is probably a more complete system, but also look at backuppc if
   you mainly want online backups because its compression and pooling
scheme will let you hold about 10x what you'd expect in a given amount
of disk space.  You can archive copies onto tape but it is a somewhat
manual operation.  I still run amanda for tape rotations since it is
mostly automatic but haven't had to restore from tape in years and hope
I never have to again.  Backuppc doesn't include open file support but
it can do pre/post backup commands and mail list users have reported
success at using those with win2003 server to create snapshots that can
be backed up completely.
