seeking cross-platform professional backup recommendation

[Ira Abramov]

Da subject unraveled:

Cross Platform = runs windows, backs up Linux (specifically Debian)
Professional = can properly back up and restore AD and Exchange.

Seeking = Right now it's ArcServe. Symantec seems cheeper, but it seems
like the buzz about the Linux agent is negative.

Bacula and AMANDA are probably not options since they won't use shadow
copies thus can't back up databases swiftly and restore them partially
and intelligently like propriatary tools do.

So, from your experience, should we go on with ArcServe, risk Symantec
or is there a good, GUI-friendly Free b/u system to consider?

thanks!
