Greg.

It may be out of your price range but check out Avamar from EMC and its competitors.

By the sounds of it what you need is a dedupe backup system. As you have already looked at DataDomain is a good fit for this but the size of your sites does not warrant a hardware solution but most likely a software one.

You may want to do whole machine states so you could use a local VM as a VCB proxy that did a single instance replication back to head office. The issue will be the space at the remote site to hold the backups.

Also don't be surprised if the existing VMware style 3rd party backup vendors such as Vizioncore and esXpress start to build dedupe into their coming versions.

VMware have dedupe in their yet to be released backup appliance which could work real nicely for you.
