Apologies, I somehow punched "send" before I was done with my previous post.
> Amanda sounds promising (everyone is recommending it). I'm afraid the reason everyone is recommending Amanda is because that's all there is. We used to use Amanda before we got a tape library and began backing up all our servers into the library. We have a heterogenous network (Linux, Win2000 with Exchange, Oracle). My experience with Amanda is that it works pretty well if you are doing Unix clients only, but doing a heterogenous network requires lots of scripting. Plus Amanda doesn't drive tape changers/libraries out of the box. It needs some scripting to do that as well. I recall that Arkeia does offer some free versions of its software, it's now called Arkeia Light, and some information on it is here: http://www.arkeia.com/arkeialight.html -- C. R.
