I have used MondoArchive with great results for a DR Recovery tool on
the open source side of the house. I don't think I have ever used it to
recover individual files, but I think it can. The website is being REAL
slow for me right now so I am not positive. I also run Amanda on those
machines that people tend to "accidently" delete stuff on. And even RCS
on those files they trash regularly on an 'oops'. So I can't really say
I've used it to recover an individual file.
At work (commercial) we use Arkeia and I have only good stuff to say
about both their backup and their recovery, but I know you have to pay
extra for the various clients and the bits (like bare metal recovery),
so I don't know if that will fit your bill. It will do just what you
asked, but the price might be prohibitive.
