seeking cross-platform professional backup recommendation

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

I don't know about Bacula and Windows, but the requirement was that the
server runs on Windows, right?
ArcServ is a lousy product. Easier to backup. Harder to restore.
Symantec product is OK. You will not have the ability to restore from
bare-metal without some major work, however, you can create (if you have
enough time) a unified bootable USB disk which can run Linux OS with backup
agent to achieve bare-metal.

BE is a better and more reliable. I would strongly recommend on it, from the
portfolio of non-OSS solutions.
