Zmanda, from Sunnyvale Ca, released a major upgrade to their suite of backup products.  Big points include support for Exchange 2010 and VMWare backups.  A really interesting feature is the option to replicate the backup server itself, making portability for disaster recovery easier.  They claim to do all this at 1/10 the cost of standard backup options.  Check out the release.

Quest, an ISP/Phone provider for many, has joined the fray and is offering backup servicesfor free to home users.  @ GB for free, $5 per month for 50 GB.  Pretty decent an realistic rates.  They do have a captive audience, and they do control the network, so it could be a growth option for them.  For home users, this might be a good alternative to Mozy and the like, although I haven’t seen the software (at this point, for all i know it could be a rebranded version of Mozy).
