I agree. We have a variety of otherwise pretty good backup software
available - Retrospect and BrightStor. They seem to do backup okay. It is
only the restore that never seems to work.
We dump everything to a file via a maintenance plan and back that up.
Caveat: If you are doing big league ecom and need to backup 12 times a day
(literally), you need to use software like Retrospect and BrightStor with
their respective SQL server agents, otherwise you will take too much of a
performance hit.
