Hi to all,
I'm not sure to be in the right place, but I've a question related to backup software (and to windows server too) and this seems a good place to have a good answer :)

Quickly, I'm looking around for a good software that could help me to make network backup, obviously I found a lot of software out there but is so difficult to understand what effectively every of them really do it (every software has a lot of unneeded features), so if someone use one of them probably could be easyer for me to find a good suggestion here.

Here what I need:
-centralized console, that can possibly communicate with the Active directory tree
-if the software would be able to communicate with AD I would be able to receive an alert when a new client will be detected by AD and not yet configured for backup
-remote backup for workstations, i.e. I need to backup the Documents folder from every client to a network folder
-prevention of client software installation: if the software could work only on the server without an agent (or, i.e. running on the client via a policy based script, would be excellent)
-continous alerts and logs: I need to know every events occurred. When a backup goes successfully, when it goes wrong, etc... and analize them in a centralized way.
-granular scheduling: I want to plan a daily bakcup, and possibily exclude some days on the year (i.e. I want to exclude every festivity)
-it would be glad if the software could provide some reports (daily, weekly, etc..)
-easy admin interface :)
-multilanguage interface (not a must)

Does exist something so useful and extraordinary? I read some docs from Veritas and Acronis backup, but all of them seems to need a client agent and are not really intuitive on a first impression...thank you in advance
