A couple of somewhat OT points to consider since you're still in the planning stage-- SBS2008's native backup is incredibly efficient, and IME hands-free reliable. It's reporting (through SBS) and granularity (little provided or needed) are sufficie...

Hehe, it just keeps getting better. I forwarded the URL of this thread and of the KB article, added the quote about contacting sales if we feel it deserves a fix, and a brief description of why I felt the issue needed fixing, all to Symantec sales....
