I also have a offline backup and restore program that we are considering marketing in the near future for MUCH less than FDRInstant with FDR.
It's currently in Beta, but there are no known issues in the past 40+ days. It's purpose is to be able to backup a flashcopy volume, or simply to be able to backup a copy of a volume which can't be mounted because another volume with the same name is mounted. We built it for a few of the Universities that we maintain that can't afford the high costs of some of the products that are available but still need the capability to do some specialty work. You are welcome to join the beta.
