Backing up MS SQL Server databases

Hello all,
using SQL Server 2000 sp4
What can Backup Exec. 9.1 do that I cannot do in scripts\jobs or sql
maintenance plans?
Is it normal out there to just have backups through MS SQL Server with
maintenance plans and jobs with dba own scripts? Or to also have 3rd party
backup solution
thanks

I'm not familiar with Backup Exec.

Yes, very normal. And honestly, for the most part, I trust them more.
One of the few reasons I can think of to use a 3rd party solution is that
you can do a single backup operation to backup the entire server, including
the databases.
