We are moving to CommVault with our SAN. NDMP option with direct FC connection to SAN if at all possible.

Yes, I know it would take forever to restore several terabytes of data, but I'd like to have some sort of "oh, crap! My san died" back up. :-) Speed of restore is not an issue, simply being able to restore is the issue. I'm looking at a Dell LTO5 tape library and the two options for backup software that *they* offer are CommVault and Symantec Backup Exec. Which of those two would you prefer to use, and which *specific* variety of the specified software would you recommend for backing up a SAN? We will likely be using the SAN for the back-end storage for email (eventually,) but will likely NOT be using MS Exchange (we're a small shop - less than 200 email addresses, and Exchange is too pricey for us!) We will likely be using Kerio Mail Server whenever we bring email in-house. Other than that, it's mainly going to be people's "My Documents" redirected to the shared storage on the SAN, install archives for software and such. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
