I wondered if any of you who have a fleet of laptops are using anything to back them up, and if so what?

In particular I'm looking for a solution that is totally hands-off once installed i.e. the user doesn't have to do anything, press anything, remember to change something when their domain password changes etc.

Right now we use Druva Insync which I have to say is pretty damned good, however our license is up for renewal in a couple of months so I want to be sure it's the best solution before renewing - the only other vaguely comparable product that I know of is from Atempo but the cost of a SQL Server license is a big problem there.

Thanks.

Backup Exec 2010 with Desktop/Laptop option. Easy add if you use Backup Exec already

We use Iron Mountain's PC Backup, I don't support the back end, so have no idea how good that it, but it's completely seamless from the client.

We're using Attix5, works like a charm.

I wonder if Atempo can be used with SQL Express. I say that because I think Atempo is one of the best solutions, with Microsoft Data Protection Manager 2010 a close second.

If you do server backups with Backup Exec, than you can use the Desktop and Lapotp Option (DLO). However, I would not deploy Backup Exec just for DLO.

The UK National Health Service in Sussex use Backup exec for their backups... While I was working for them it seemed to be a very effective solution!
