Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8.5 Windows Small Business Server Edition
Hello,
I need a good backup system for my SBS 2008 (and maybe SBS 2011 later).
Anyone has any judgement/advise about this product?
Does it backup SQL and Exchange? ( by account, folder,etc.)
Any alternatives aside Acronis server for SBS?
Thanks

Update on my search for an easy stable backup and restore for my SBS 2008.
1. I checked Appusure -- unknown and expensive.
2. I have used built backup system -- cumbersome and difficult to use.
3. Purchased a official Symantec Backup and recovery 8.5 ( <$250) for Small Business Sever, and it works great! Tested backup and restore. Quick and Easy.
The only problem I have is that the granular online recovery for Exchange give me license issue: Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery Granular Restore: This version of the software (Small Business Server edition) is not able to read images generated with BSER Server edition. Either create backup images with BSER SBS edition or upgrade this product to the Server version.
Anyone has a solution for this?
My plan is to use Symantec 8.5, and for backup will backup with SBS 2008 with built-in backup system as well.
I do have questions?
1) Will Symantec 8.5 SBS edition work with SBS 2011?
2) What advantages I have with SBS 2011 over freshly installed SBS 2008? Can I upgrade from SBS 2008 to SBS 2011?
Regards and Thanks.

Properly configuring Deleted Item Retention in Exchange will generally eliminate any need to have per mailbox backups, but should you need to restore a single mailbox its not very difficult with Exchange 2007 or 2010 using a full store backup. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124357(v=exchg.80).aspx
