Arcsoft is looking pretty good as a choice for us as we switch to Exchange 2003. You can restore individual mail items instead of the intire store.

For the real time backups, doesn't SBS2003 offer the Server2003 Shadow copy function?

Use that for the "must get it back now!" crises when your manager realises he's deleted his own files and use a regular backup option for the other times.
Just make sure you scheduled periods overlap the amount of data the shadow copy holds.

you can also back up the state of the server. It's normally used to distribute domain controllers. You build the server at head office, backup the active state, then have the hardware deliverd to the remote area. Techie there builds the server and then adds your backed up state instead of an entire ghost image.
Useful for doing quick backups in case of hardware failure. Any machine can be then made to resume your server's role.
