I have several clients where I have installed Quantum LTO-2 drives for backups, and I am using bacula as the backup software. Everything worked fine and I haven't had any problems with the drives at all. Bacula works great and is much more reliable than the previous, expensive application I was using.
The configuration was simple and was an easy modification of the sample linux storage configurations. I am not a technical server guru (I'm really just a dangerous user), but I was able to figure out the bacula configurations without much trouble and have been very happy with it, including backing up several servers to a central backup server. I highly recommend the LTO-2 drives and bacula! Good luck.
