Sort of depends upon your needs. In certain small installations we've used NTBackup before and it's been fine. It's not the fastest or the slickest or the sexiest but for basic backup/restore it does the job, it's even Exchange-aware, and you can't beat the price.

In a small rack, 2 servers, will ntbackup to an external raided disk(s) suffice? I have never really used ntbackup, all my deployments have been at a much larger scale requiring a central service like BackupExec. BackupExec can restore ntbackup files... seems like a good setup to me. But there has to be some gotchas... I would have to monitor more closely, create my own reporting tool, Any others?
