I know someone who is evaluating CrashPlan Pro and I believe it gets a lot
of the items on that list. The only problem I've heard is that, while you
can limit upload bandwidth (from the client) when you want to do a restore
it can't be limited. In this case, it is being used to back up Ubuntu, Mac
and Windows workstations to a central server.

Apparently it works with (I don't know these technologies, so forgive if I
get it wrong) VSS to do backups of services like Exchange and SQL server.
