We had a demo of CommVault a while back and, in a Windows environment,
it has a number of out of the box advantages over Networker. In
particular is the ability to do item level restores from normal backups
of AD, Exchange (no need to do brick level backups) and SQL Server. If
you've ever had to deal with restoring these type of things it is a BIG
plus in CommVault's favour.
Also, if a file exists on multiple machines (like the OS for example) it
only needs to backup one copy of the file and then uses pointers to
reference the file on other machines. However, I don't recall much on
it's Unix/Linux capabilities as we were not really into that platform at
the time, but now are moving into it quite quickly.
We will likely be having a closer look at it at some point, so I too am
interested in what others have to say...
