I haven't run the others, so I can't fully comment, but I am fairly certain Retrospect can now run as a service. I know I have backed up machines that were not logged in, and I think I have run the backup while logged out, though I am not as certain of that.
Dantz was purchased by EMC some time back, which may or may not have had an impact.

As for Retrospect, it was total junk. The program did not run as a service, so the server had to be logged in for it to even run. Plus, I am not sure how it would handle multiple servers. I'm sure Retrospect has nowhere near the functionality you want, but I thought I would mention it in the hopes of keeping others from trying it. :)
