You should also consider ARCservIT for Linux:
http://www.cai.com/arcserveit/arc_linux_ae.htm.
If it's half as good as the Windows version, I would go for it.

> Hi list,
>
> I would like to hear comments about commercial Linux Backup Solutions (for
> a mixed Linux/Windows network).
>
> After a quick search of the web I found three main candidates:
> - Arkeia (by Know) www.arkeia.com
> - Backup Professional (by Unitrends) www.unitrends.com
> - NovaNet 8 (by NovaStor) www.network-backup.com
>
> BRU falls out because it doesn't seem to have a native Windows client,
> same for amanda (also amanda is really not user friendly). SMB is the
> thinkable worst tool to backup open files or the registry (as keys).
>
> Important aspects for me:
> - Reliable (doesn't get stuck by missing clients
> - User friendly (so that also the non-sysadmin can go and restore some
> files), meaning having a nice GUI with file and backuped-files browser
> where you can choose the 5 day old version of your file and click a button
> and it gets restored.
> - Easy to install and manage
> - Easy to migrate to another computer
> - Native Client support (Win9x, WinNT, Win2K)
> - Extensive scripting support (run stuff before/after backup, wait with
> backup if neccessary etc.)
>
> I would most of all like to hear from people who actually use(d) or
> try(d) one or several of the products and can give me a hands-on
> experience report.
