Just to name one: Windows Home Server (WHS). I was asking on one of the MS 
newsgroups (Small Business Server) about what they use for backup, and many 
were using WHS in small business environments precisely because of the high 
degree of compression when backing up multiple workstations. When I went to 
look at the WHS features it immediately reminded me of BPC, but with the 
file chunking added.
