Another solution you use is Symantec's Backup exec 2010. It supports Dedup, and you can also purchase the module for your mail client, ie exchange which will allow you restore individual mails from those mailboxes if need be.

You can also allocate the priority on the other machines so you don kill the machine being backed up.
We have an office of around 200 users and don't have any problems with this solution.

You can also have a look to PSTStation Corporate (http://www.addonmail.com) that allows backup while pst is in use, incremental backup (message level), centrally management of the backup and the restore, and many other like discover PST file on the network, statistics, ...
Sounds like http://lockstep.com would work for you.
Thanks for the suggestions
I know this question is already closed, but Backup Exec is a great tool. Try a trial version of it and see what you think.
