I'm currently looking at backup solutions and currently favouring BackupExec. I'm pretty much set to go ahead with the BackupExec option, but I figure it cannot hurt to get some other options on the table.

To give you an idea of the requirements, I'm planning on backing up the following to an LTO-5 Ultrium drive (3TB compressed @ 1TB/hr apparently) connected to a dedicated backup server;
Each list item represents one server
  • Domain and File shares
  • Exchange
  • File server
  • MsSQL server (including some file backups)

All of the above would include what BackupExec calls "bare-metal restore".

I've had a quote for the above at a little over £3k +vat.

Are there any other solutions that I should be considering? Cost isn't too much of an issue, but I certainly wouldn't mind something cheaper.
 
I was planning on doing system images to an "off site" data store (we have a 100mbit wifi link to our other site), with the specific backups being on tape.
