Need backup solution advice.....

I'd like to use Acronis as my backup software but I have some questions about it's ability to handle large company data.....

I'd like to set up a backup server with a large disk array (about 5 TB) and high speed tape backup (LTO-2 or LTO-3) attached via FC. Can Acronis handle backing up 20-30 large servers to disk and archiving to tape like this? Can the Acronis Server Enterprise run on one machine (backup server) and backup all the servers on the network? If there are some better suggestions on how to set up an enterprise level backup solution using Acronis? Currently we are using Backup Exec and DLT tape drives on each server and it's very slow to restore data and cumbersome to keep up with tapes for 20-30 different servers. I'm not wild about Backup Exec either. I'd like to hear some of the company backup solutions (hardware and software) that you guys have implemented and what you do and don't like about them. Thanks for any help in advance.

 

anyone?

 

bump.
