I need some help choosing backup software for the server at my work. Until now we've had a third party operate our backup, but they've been causing so many problems for us, we're going to start doing it ourselves.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it!

what kind of server are you backing up, what kind of files, how large and how often?
