We are using Veritas NetBackup. What we do is kick off the users, do a disk to disk with Veritas, process nightly (approx 15 minutes of exclusive system use), then allow users to login. After that we duplicated the diskbackup to tape.
Our files that are backed up are only about 4.5gb. So, it does go pretty quick. As far as people complaining, what can you say. There are absolutely more sophisticated ways of doing this using replication and so forth. The question is how much do you want to spend on this and how much do you want complicate things ? Sometimes you really have no choice and you have to bit the bullet. I say keep it simple.
