Think of backup environments as sorted by size. As a rough guesstimate, and I'm sure people have different opinions on sizing,
NTBackup is for 1 machine. Backup Exec is good for 1-10, maybe even 20 machines. Veritas NetBackup is good for 10-50 machines. (Is anybody having a good time with it on larger implementations?) TSM is good for 20-50 machines. TSM is super for 50+ machines. Scale and application support will be your guide to choosing a backup solution. TSM is really an Enterprise solution with pretty good application support. One of my TSM servers (on AIX) is backing up 200 clients (which are actually various servers) for 2-4 TB per night over FastEthernet, ATM, GbE, and SP2 switch with very little hands-on management. I can't do that easily with any other product that I know of.
