I used BESR for about 9 months last year. It is very similar to SP. They both use a StorageCraft snapshot driver.

Had never heard of it,but then again its also aimed at the business sector-I notice the price is as high as $10,000 pa locally.

Your thoughts about it would be interesting!

Sorry Hairy - I don't claim to be objective, sweet, tolerant or reasonable - I just dispute that you are either - no offense meant.

You can buy a single license in Australia for about $100. I think the minimum purchase in USA is 5 licenses. I'm not certain.

Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Desktop Edition

New Features
Dissimilar Hardware Restoration with Restore Anyware
Rapid recovery of entire systems to dissimilar hardware breaks the barrier of incompatible storage controllers and hardware abstraction layers, thereby reducing recovery times and saving significant hardware investments. Combines hot imaging with the ability to restore to different hardware platforms on the fly.
• NIC driver retargeting supports hardware-independent NIC drivers
• Also perform complete hardware migrations with ease using Restore Anyware
Enhanced Virtual Support
Leverages the power of virtualization, enabling seamless physical to virtual (P2V) and virtual to physical (V2P) conversions for VMware ESX Server, VMware Server (formerly GSX Server), VMware Workstation, and Microsoft Virtual Server disk formats. Convert entire systems at once or selective volumes at a time.
• Easy-to-use, intuitive virtual conversion wizard simplifies the conversion process
• Now supports VMware ESX Server and Microsoft Virtual Server
• Perform preflight testing of patches, installations, etc. in the virtual environment before applying changes to production systems
Enhanced Data Recovery Capabilities
Backup Exec System Recovery 7.0 Desktop Edition delivers many new data recovery capabilities, simplifying the recovery of individual files and folders, including:
• Recovers individual files and folders in seconds from either recovery points or file/folder backups
• Now enables end user recovery of files and folders via Google Desktop or Backup Exec Retrieve using a common web-browser interface for fast and simple recovery, without IT intervention
Centralized Management
Providing IT administrators an at-a-glance, centralized view of all system backup and recovery activity across multiple systems, the new Backup Exec System Recovery Manager simplifies administration for organizations with more than a single system. This option lets administrators centrally create backup and recovery jobs, view status, run reports, and add new systems quickly and easily as required.
• Simplifies administration of multiple servers, desktops and laptops
• Delivers reporting functionality and trend analysis views
• Scales from small businesses to larger Windows environments
Revolutionary New User Interface
Calendar view shows past, present and future recovery points for each volume on the system and the protection level of each.
• Simple, easy to use
• Incorporates automated best practice decision making and reporting (backed up, partially protected, at risk)
Customizable Symantec Recovery Disk
Simplifies and speeds system recovery by allowing IT administrators to build their own recovery environment with drivers unique to their hardware needs. It automatically harvests system drivers from the system the customizable SRD is being created on. It also allows for manual inclusion of additional 3rd party drivers with the ability to burn to CD or ISO format.
Dynamic CPU-based Performance Throttling
Improves performance on desktops or laptops to utilize resources more efficiently while capturing a recovery point. Also includes support for Dual- and Quad-Core Systems.
File/Folder Backup and Recovery
Allows users to backup selective files and folders on a separate schedule from full system or volume recovery points. Users can also search and retrieve files from file/folder backups.
Customizable Event Driven Recovery Points
Allows users to specify which executable(s) or .com files they wish to trigger a new recovery point. This expands on the existing set of event triggers (prior to application installation, user log on or off, and configurable storage utilization changes).
Enhanced Scheduling Capabilities
Automated best practice scheduling based on system configuration and storage availability. Additionally, you can now schedule incremental recovery points as often as 15 minutes, thus saving time and reducing disk storage requirements by capturing only the changes that were made since the last recovery point.
