I have one client, 2 buildings, 2 BackupPC servers, 90+ hosts 90% WinXP, a
few Server2000/2003 boxes some Win2k. Using the shadow copy setup/script to
do backups while they work, daily. One annoying thing was the daily calls
about "my computer is really slow"... which it is during the dump on some
units. I've setup in those shadow copy scripts to have a "net send" message
pop up at the beginning and end, stating the reason for the slowness and
when it will end. No more calls. Other than that, it's saved my butt several
times. Daily incrementals, weekly fulls. They're 2 vms running in Xen (soon
to switch to KVM), with images of those exported occasionally. If backuppc
were a girl, it'd be sexy.

I've been running BackupPC in a test environment here, and so far it has 
been working very well.  I'd like to roll it out into production, but I 
wanted to know, are there any businesses or government entities using 
BackupPC in live environments?   Can you give a range of employees or 
servers you are backing up?  Data sizes you are backing up?  How well do 
you like BackupPC for backing up your mission critical data?
