Previous Versions is out of the question (I'd guess that MacOSX doesn't support that)?

After much frustration with Acronis, I have come to the realization that it cannot do what I want it to. We've had the product for a year, and have had marginal success making and pulling data from backups. I am resorting to standard Windows Backups now. So, I'm in the market. I would love to have the list's current recommendations (for and against) various backup products. Here is my single requirement: * File level restore of a Window's file share - Our biggest need is when a teacher/student accidently deletes or writes over a file... and would like the copy form 3 days ago. The following are optional: * VMware support - We are now running all of our servers from the VMware cluster, some of which are running linux. * Macintosh file support - Acronis chokes on some Macintosh file names when doing a file-level backup, and I'd love something that is known to work with these. * Mild costs - I'm not looking for a cheap solution, but I'll take one that's inexpensive. * Ease of use - A backup solution should not require constant grooming/tending/clearing to work. All suggestions are appreciated. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District
