Remember that the software compression achieved by C2C will negate some of the hardware compression achieved by your backup device. Therefore if one of your business drivers for compression software is lack of space on tape, then C2C won't help. Also any AV software will have to decompress, scan and then recompress so this will cause extra work for the CPU.
Upgrading to Office XP (assuming you use Office) will help in itself as docs/ppts etc are self-compressing and things like screenshots in documents go in as .jpgs (I think) rather than .bmps which saves a huge amount of space. So simply upgrading existing desktop software may be enough in itself.
