Im also in the hunt for a reliable backup software that will allow me to schedule backups for specific directories on specific dates.

For example...
I have one client that wants monthly backups done in c:\webroot\user1

I have one client that wants bi weekly backups done in c:\webroot\user2

Ten I have one user that wants daily backups done in c:\webroot\user3

I think Veritas Backup Executive does this... but it has a rather large price tag stuck too it. I was wondering if anyone else knew of some software that would allow me to pull individual folders for backup depending on the date specified.

Thanks in advance.

Could you not just run a cron job to do it instead of using a program?
I don't know anything about windows servers to be honest as I only use, and only ever have used linux.

You could set a cron to tar/gzip the directories, then send them to a remote location (If needed)

Had to laugh at your reply to John, I am the same way, if it isn't done on a Linux I can't help out either, I just thought it was so funny.
