If you ar eused to using CommVault why not stick with it? It is not very
complex software.
They also offer a SMB package called Express which has reduced pricing.

Yes, Amanda is open source but there are companies out there
commercializing it. Zmanda is a decent one from what I can tell. I
have never used them but I know a guy at Raytheon who does.
www.zmanda.com

version (support is a requirement), the server only runs on NIX, and I'm
not interested in adding NIX into the environment and the management
overhead it incurs.
Has anyone used/trialed MS Data Protecting? Pricing is very
attractive and it would cover Windows/SQL/Exchange. I could use
Vizioncore's products for the VMware side of things.

I think Microsoft's Data Protection manager look interesting. I
also think Amanda backup looks like something worth trying.

Looking for opinions on SMB backup solutions. My past 5
1/5 years of
backup experience are with CommVault, but I think it's
going to be too
pricey and complex for the environment. Prior to
CommVault, I used
ARCServe, but I think it was v8 or 9, and it's now up to
12.
I have a few calls lined up to go over ARCServe and
Backup
Exec/NetBackup. Does anyone have suggestions on other
products to look
at? The environment consists of a couple physical
Windows Server boxes,
a bunch of virtual Windows Boxes running on VMware.
Something that
works with VCB would be nice. The Tape drive in use is
a LAN or FC
connected LTO3 library. I also have 2 Apple Xserve RAID
arrays which are
FC connected SCSI arrays (they present as LUNs to
VMware) and I am
hosting VM's on the Xserve RAIDs on those LUNs. All
actual file storage
is done inside of a Windows VM.
