I am not sure if this is the right forum for this so if a mod feels it is better somewhere else please move it.
So I have had some good experience with Acronis backup and recovery server in the past. I like the centralized management, and the universal restore function is awesome.
I just built a new server for our office and I am looking into backup and recovery options and I wanted to get some opinions. I would go with Acronis but it is out of our price range, I am looking for a less expensive (or open source, free) alternative. Any suggestions would be great... here is our needs.
Backup over network
Centralized management is a must
GUI (this rules out amanda for linux)
Volume shadow copy
Virtual Machine support
Ability to restore a single file or an entire system
I know this is generally not something you go the "cheap" route for... and I am not even sure a less expensive program exists that will do all this. But I thought it couldn't hurt to ask
