Does anyone have any recommendations for the software piece of a solution like the one described below. Something that keeps track of the syncing and does at least file level dedupe? Block level would be great, but I haven't found a truly affordable product that does it.

The size itself isn't an issue. We install an onsite backup unit (basically a NAS box running an Intel processor and Windows) and a dedicated ADSL2+ line (24mb down and 2mb up). The first backup is then made and copied to a smaller NAS which we provide. It's picked up by a courier and brought back here where we copy the data to the servers. The offsite feature is then enabled on the onsite backup unit and the next backup happens over the internet. We charge a monthly fee, starting for this kind of service at £200 a month depending on storage requirements (I guess around $300 per month currently). Using standard tech (compression and 'data delta') the actually data sent over the internet is reduced to a minimum. I'm not sure where you are in the states, but I'm sure a company can do a similar service to this as it's all based on standard tech.

I am afraid that the initial backup (approximately ½ terabyte) would kill our internet connection, though... :-/ What I need is something that is 1) low-cost (or at least not going to charge an arm and three legs) 2) secure and 3) redundant (both redundant servers and redundant internet connection.) Anyone got any suggestions??? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
