I have Solaris SPARC, RHEL 4+5 and Windows media servers.
The solaris servers are the most reliable. The linux servers are reliable but i have a few that have to have their tape drives readded every so often (too rare to really troubleshoot). The windows server are required because of VCB for VMware but my main gripe with them is the TCP stack. Network backups on windows are just slower than Unix. I am curious though how this new 2008 server i just deployed for a new VMware environment will stack up against the unix boxes.
Just my 2c.
