Yea, we standardized on Exchange before I came. Microsoft gives us software
at their highest discount rate, so its not much of an investment. Our old
backup system (Unitrends) doesn't support Win2K8 at all (or Unicode
filenames!), and they charged something like $7000/yr for support. I was
hoping Bacula would replace it, easily, and do more. Guess it does, but it
still doesn't do all of what we need (yet).

Yea I'm using scheduled snapshots right now to effect this, but I'm not as
confident in the Microsoft tools. If they hadnt removed 'ntbackup' from
Win2k8 then we'd be fine ... :/
