I'm having particular issues running Veritas in my Windows environment. The agent just seems to baulk on some servers. I've looked into backup solutions running on Linux before but there doesn't seem to be much. Is anyone familiar with something that has Windows agents and yet managed by Linux?

Amanda will backup Win boxes via smbclient, and there's also a couple of projects out there to run the amanda client natively on Windows (I think via cygwin, but I'm not sure). There are the usual issues with open files and the like, but it works well enough. http://www.amanda.org

I'm currently looking at BackupPC for my network. They have windows clients plus a webclient so users can restore files themselves.

Have a look at SEP http://www.sep.de/home_us.php Commercial, but pricing is correct, disaster recovery bootable CD's (Knoppix baed) included in base product/license already, 30 day trials available.
I tested Tapeware also - forget it - they concentrate on Windows, their Linux support is not good.

Have a look at Amanda. The good thing is its open source and under-the-hood it uses the basic Linux programs like tar or dump to do the backup, meaning its easy to do restores even when you don't have indexes. The bad thing is there's no GUI for it and setting it up first time can be a little bit complicated, but once you get it setup its very reliable.

There's a number of commercial solutions. Veritas server can also be on Linux. Other than Veritas, there's Legato Networker, then there's that HP thing (OmniBackup or whatever it is called), IBM has something (can't remember the name).
In open source world, there's Bacula which works closest to the way commercial backup solutions work. It will backup both Unix and Windows clients. Amanda is more Unix-world oriented, but I guess it might be able to backup Windows clients too.

we use amanda to backup our networks and these are a mix of sun, linux and windoze boxes
works a charm

I recommend Arkeia http://www.arkeia.com. The server version is developed on Linux, for Linux. They have full DR/BMR (for Linux currently, but will have Windows shortly) and it is fast and inexpensive. It is free for very small networks. I've used it previously with +100 Linux servers. They can backup Windows and most everything else as well, but the server generally runs on Linux.

Lot's of good suggestions. I'm currently using Veritas 9.1 and it seems to stumble a lot. I'm backing up VoIP servers and having almost no success. Other servers will baulk at running the beagent as well which makes backing up tough.

have you looked into microlite? It's relatively inexpensive and even supports rev drives.
