I'm just curious, What Network Backup software do you use? Would you recommend it to other Net Admin's? Why?

Generally, my preferred backup software for Windows NT or Novell Networks is Veritas BackupExec. I am a network consultant and have found it to be the easiest to setup and train others to monitor and use. Also it has add-on for backing up things like Exchange and SQL etc. It has Disaster Recovery add-ons that simplify that concern and it is fairly easy to get thru to a live person for tech support (Arcserve is really hard to get thru to tech support and is almost always a call back within 24-48 hours. It is also a resource hog on the server). BackupExec also has to ability to backup multiple servers from a single server remotely as well as backing up workstations remotely.
To make it short, I much prefer BackupExec and recommended it to most all of my clients.
