Server 2003 Backup Software

[enigmo]

Any recommendations for cheap backup software that will work on Server 2003 and do software compression? All the regular home solutions like Ghost 14 and Acronis won't install as it's an 'enterprise' environment.

I've used the inbuilt ms backup in the past, but it doesn't do compression. The other main one for compression is backup exec, but i don't think it's too cheap

Assuming your drives/partitions aren't over 2TB in size (this limitation will apparently be lifted later this year), you couldn't go wrong with Terabyte's Image For Windows/DOS/Linux. It's worth paying about $10 extra and getting BootIt as well for partition management and boot features.

Maybe not the cheapest at ~$39 (or ~$50 for the bundle), but not expensive either.
