Somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-17 TB, and a significant portion of
it will be coming across the campus network.  We'll be backing up
Windows Servers, Linux Servers, Exchange, MS SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL,
and I'm sure a few others have slipped my mind.  These are some reasons
we liked Avamar, because the it has source-based deduplication at fairly
high rates, which also reduces backup time.  It also seems to integrate
nicely with our EMC SAN and VMWare.

How much data are you backing up? Have anyone look into Acronis® Backup
& Recovery™ 10 Server for Windows?

let me know.

Anyone out there have any experience with any backup solutions?
 
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). 
 
Thanks,
