In my small environment I am using Bacula (www.bacula.org) also it is 
available on sourceforge. It runs quite well, and the documentation is 
above the quality of any commercial software I have seen lately. Oh, BTW, 
it is open source. And the developer is only an email away. Response time 
for him is usually in an hour or so!

I am not related to, get no kickback from, nor even any attaboys from 
Bacula, but am pleased with the product and am quite happy to make mention 
of it!

Someone on the list recommended it to me, and I forgot to say thanks. It 
works well and will handle Windows clients as remote backup clients.

I cannot help you with commercial backup software.
