Ron, I work for a small computer company on the weekends and evenings and we do a lot of small business server set-ups. We use Backup Exec exclusively because of its built in Disaster Recovery features and its ease of use for non-technical people. So far we have never came across a better product for a small business using Active Directory for their small business networks. If there is something better out there I too would like to hear about it.

Time for an OT from me. Anyway I am just doing a little research on what smaller shops out there use for their backup software. I am a fan of NetBackup on linux and maybe something like an LTO auto loader or something, but I know that something like that maybe out of the price range from some smaller shops. Plus most of the clients I deal with use TSM an have backup networks etc. Anyway I use Backup Exec for our stuff at RA, and am wondering what smaller shops out there are using. Every now and then we look at stuff for our small clients but I never really find anything I like without going to BackupExec.
