Check out Bacula.org. Very good system, we use it with about 40 hosts and do disk-to-disk to our iscsi sata array. I also has windows clients that support VSS.

Hello, i wrote in a week ago and was overwhelmed by the response, but maybe i need to be more specific.
We need to get a rock solid backup system in place, basically a self-running system that would be set up once and then periodically checked on.
We have 2 Windows machines (NT4, 2003 Server) and 3 Linux Machines (Centos 4.4, Centos 4.3 and Red Hat 3).
Two machines are hosted locally (Centos 4.4 & NT4).
We have a Dell Server that just needs new hard drives and that could be setup to be a backup server, but we want to be sure that we have off-site backups of the local machines (so we could ship the machine to a hosting facility once it is set up).
We would like to have the ability to have a rolling archive of about 30 days.
Since we are a publishing company, our archives are important but not critical to our daily operations and they don't change. The current projects are changed daily and need to be archived daily.
We are open to the options that were suggested a week ago, but we are thinking that we need someone to implement it. This is very important and not something that should be left to someone who is 'learning as he goes'.
We need a clear and solid plan along with someone who could execute it.
Please let me know of any people who are in/around San Diego, California and could help us- or someone who could accomplish the task flawlessly with a remote connection.
Many thanks, Noah
