Last I heard Ultrabac was still there if this is for 2003 then it was rock solid for me. I never got to try it on 2008 the office refused to update the software so I was forced to use built in backup programs for the OS. It does take a bit getting used to but I rarely had issues except during a migration when the permissions would get butchered a bit. I created a domain user account and put it into the Backup Operators group and use that for all backups. Restores worked. I don't know if it was the tape device used or Ultrabac but backing up about 1TB of data could take 36 hours to complete (this included verification after write). I suspect it was the tape device though.
