We used Acronis and it was a nightmare as was their off-shored support

Switched to Iron Mountain LiveVault which backs everything up over the
wire. It has basic reporting functions but not extremely granular.

Does Iron Mountain LiveVault allow for bare metal restorations? I didn't
see it after gleaning the site.
In my new job, we're using BackupExec pulling the data from ~100 servers
to a SAN and then to tape. Iron Mountain comes in every day to to
replace our tapes for offsite storage.
For the few boxes we have that aren't configured in HA pairs or
clusters, we periodically do a snapshot with Acronis specifically for
the bare metal restoration ability.
