It can be tricky to initially set up, depending on how complex you want 
stuff to be, but once you get the hang of it, it is really configurable. 
It can backup to Tape or Disc or both. The points to really get are that 
there is a client on each machine you back up so it knows how to do the 
right thing, Unix or Windows (Arghhh) and it will(can) restore back to 
the original machine. Also all info is stored in a database and so 
retrieving files can be done at a particular time etc, etc. The power a 
database gives you.

I guess you realise I quite like this product ;)
