We're been using DovAve for around 6 months here. The restore is pretty easy. It allows you to restore over an existing site or to a completely new site. The only bug in it I found though is when you're doing a backup it locks the site up so you can't edit it. IF the backup fails however, it doesn't unlock it. So if backup fails overnight, you have to manually go to the server and unlock the site. The work around for this though was a scheduled task I put on the server to unlock the site every morning at 6am in case the backup failed and no one was in to manually unlock it.

It lets you restore at any level from a backup set, which is quite nice - and it has a scheduler, etc - all seems to be pretty easy to set up and use. I'd HIGHLY recommend testing the restore features before purchasing it though....the 'capture' side of docave seems to be a lot better than the 'publish'. Good to hear DPM is getting a good wrap.

Example: We have a site called "Intranet" (http://intranet.com <http://intranet.com/> ). Within this web app there is a site called "Collaboration" (http://intranet.com/collaboration). Is it possible to restore from backup only the "Collaboration" site? Hence we don't wont to override all other data within the extranet with old data from backup. We are currently using Backup Exec to backup the sql database. I am aware of the sharepoint add-on for the software but am unsure if it will do whats required. Any experiences, thoughts or suggestions?
