we do the same!

We have in our site, about 1000 Unix Servers/WorkStations and we do
backup them, but the process is filtered through proper System
Administrators. We also have about 1700 PCs & 50 NT/NetWare Servers, we
backup only the servers and ask the PC users to move their data on
specific areas on these servers if they need to preserve their data.
