i) software firewall

Routing and Remote Access does the job and is simple to use. Windows Firewall is ok if you're only using one Ip.

ii) backup software - or do you just rely on disk mirroring?

Windows backup, plus various scripts, batch files and custom apps.

iii) anti-virus

F-Prot. Do *not* have A-V software running in "background", just do periodic manual scans.

iv) email server (Exchange?)

MailEnable Standard is free and good. Merak Mail is very powerful. IMail is often viewed as the tops but is very expensive.
