In that case, have a look at this. We've used them before as well, AND had to do a bare metal restore of a PC. PCs are cheap to backup. Server data...well, not so much, but less expensive than Avamar by a long shot.

That's as granular as I'm allowed to disclose. One thing to consider is that it natively does NDMP so I can backup my EMC NAS CIFS shares. With Avamar you also get UNLIMITED clients. Meaning you could literally install the backup agent on every single PC in your enterprise if you're so inclined, and it de-dupes your data. We've had to restore data, so I know it works. Haven't tried a bare metal restore, though. We're mostly VMware, so we've got backups of the VMDK files, though. Jonathan L.
