We use Microsoft DPM2010 For Disk - Disk and Disk - Disk - Tape backups. Its easy ans slick but only for Microsoft products which from my understanding is what you are now using. I'd be happy to show you, let me know. Ehren J.

We're looking at an EMC Avamar to give us backup to disk to tape, but the price tag stands out in a not so good way. I have also looked into Barracuda's backup service, but it does not appear that the backup data can be duplicated to tape or another device except in their cloud, and we are just not comfortable with our data out in a cloud somewhere (at least not yet).
