In my small environment I am using Bacula (www.bacula.org) also it is available on sourceforge. It runs quite well, and the documentation is above the quality of any commercial software I have seen lately. Oh, BTW, it is open source. And the developer is only an email away. Response time for him is usually in an hour or so! I am not related to, get no kickback from, nor even any attaboys from Bacula, but am pleased with the product and am quite happy to make mention of it! Someone on the list recommended it to me, and I forgot to say thanks. It works well and will handle Windows clients as remote backup clients. I cannot help you with commercial backup software. Bob
