I have no idea if Ace USA is "noteworthy" be we use Amanda to backup Oracle servers, Web servers, Samba servers and several development machines. Total data written to tape in a cycle is about 200 Gig. I originally picked it because the difference between the price of Amanda (free) and BackupExec licenses ($$$) paid for the 15 tape changers with a barcode reader. Now that I've been using it for a few months, I've discovered it is faster and more effecient of tape usage than BackupExec.
