My experience with Retrospect has been very favorable. You have to choose
carefully the policies you set up. You can have it back up to an FTP archive,
or to a local device such as tape or removable disk. The high-end package
also allows for remote configuration and administration, so that a server
machine can back up workstations to its local media.
Retrospect also backs up Windows workstations, if that's important to your
shop.
