Was messing around on a clients network (that they maintain) - Symantec Backup Exec{ute} was on the server, I remember when this used to go by the acronym BENT (i still call it that cause thats what it can get).
BENT runs a total of 12 processes on this server, and at idle - it uses exactly 495.1mb of RAM - lets just call it 1/2 gig - i hate to see it actually "in action".
In years past I have always relied very well on ntbackup - it even includes bare metal restore capability. It has been replaced in 2008, but I have heard you can still steal the exe from another system (as is the case with XP Home which lacks ntbackup).
Its a little known fact that ntbackup was actually created by Veritas (original creators of BENT) for Micros0ft, and while its not the ipad of backups - it DOES the job, and without a lot of unneeded attitude - who needs pretty icons and unneeded baggage?
