I've seen a demo of CommVault's document restoration. It works with WSS
alone. I saw it once at Tech Ed, and then again a couple of weeks ago via
webcast. I can't remember if it's generally available or not. It looked
pretty sweet, I can say that.
Veritas Backup Exec 10 offers that functionality too, but it only works with
Portal.
