I help look after about 100 production severs and very much a Microsoft shop, and we are just about to deploy Symantec V2i. We will be using it to make complete and delta copies to a san or a big scsi drive. V2i allows for block level snapshots as well as images to be used for server recovery Then for archival needs we will use Veritas Backup Exec to do tape copies.
