Client had 7 offices each connected via a T1. Each office had a Windows 2003 server with nightly backups via tape. Each system had roughly 100 Gigabyes of data to backup. Existing issues were that complete automation was impossible because individual office managers had to replace tapes, recovery was slow and required searching individual tapes for the correct data, and the high cost of gigabyte tapes. The client was looking for an automated solution that would allow for remote access, off-site storage, easy rollback to any day's work, and a system that could be used by anyone easily.
