previusly i've relied on windows backup and Data Protection Manager.
However windows backup has lost what its supposed to fo for the last time (the back up settings file is missing on multiple servers, again.)
DPM is an odity, its the only thing that can read its backups I think, it requires a server with unformated disks and uses these. The other problem I have is that some of my replicor sets are now too small, and I cannot grow them, only recreate them, deleting the bacups in the process. Also it cannot back up the system state.
What I want is software that can do the following.
Back up C and system state.
Back up SQL (MS 2005)
Keep data on two seperate disk arrays or an array and a tape library
Restore to bare-metal servers.
Be browsable by users, like a libary archive
Intergrate with AD for permisions.
At work we use a combination of windows and ahsay to do backups.
