Amanda is the open source product? While they sell a supported 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.

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.
