We used to have a contract with CA Brightstor but have since moved to CommVault (ease of use and also CA changing the licencing model caused the shift) and the lads seem quite happy with it so far. So there's a couple for you to look at! 
Can't give you any more info than that as i only authorise the funding, it's the techies that actually use it!

I agree, commvault is pretty awesome, been using it mainly for VM backups, and not had any issues at all.
Really it depends on what you're backing up. File shares, databases, Windows, Netware, VM's?
Before commvault we used arcserve pretty much exclusively, and for single server-single drive scenarios it's fine. For multiple server's backing up to a single library you're better off looking at commvault and possibly syncsort.

Never heard of any of those, perhaps I'm a bit old school I just use Perl scripts to back up all my stuff. It's pretty simple really, the script scans certain directories (in my case /coredev /extdev and /remdev) for file changes, then copies anything that has been modified over to the backup server via scp. Guess it's a different story in an enterprize environment but for a smallish network it does the job.
