I'm curious as to how much the bkf files varies block by block after an overwrite operation. I wouldn't mind looking into replicating the changed bits in the bkf files over the wan with something like rsync. I can't do straight file copies, my fulls are around 500gb.

That is how I have my exchange, AD, etc backed up here. We cant afford backup exec or any other system at the moment. They backup to a file server and then a batch runs about an hour after and copy's them offsite across my vpn.

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?
