My manager just tasked me at looking at this, for one team we're supporting. Now, he'd been thinking of bacula, but I see their Windows binaries are now not-free, so I'm looking around. IIRC, Les thinks highly of backuppc; comments on that, or other packaged solutions?
I would strongly recommend a product that supports VSS. Bacula does, and Veeam does as far as I can tell (mentioned by Tom). BackupPC does not. Without snapshots (VSS), you may back up inconsistent data, and you'll miss backups of open files.
Veeam fully supports it, I don't have as much time with this product since it pretty new, but its based on their server stuff which I have been using for years and it's been solid. I have some really nasty window servers doing everything under the sun and they get backed up and replicated continuously, I don't have as much time on this new offering but I am using it and so far so good.
