Backup Central

I'm looking for a good solution for backing up end users laptops and desktops within a decent sized environment. We have a data center, and use NetBackup for the servers, but up until now we have told everyone else to put it on their network shares if they want it backed up. Some of our top level people don't seem to like that option any more.

The criteria they have given me is:

• Backup user data only (no systems state or registry required).
• Ability to send data to User’s personal network drive.
• Users can manually initiate, and have it automatically run on a daily basis.
• Integration with user’s login/AD so they don’t have to enter a password, or not have a need to use credentials.
• Data only accessible to the end user, and authorized backup administrators.

Thanks.

You can look at EMC Avamar solution for your requirement.
