I've been using Amanda for years. Currently, I'm the Senior SysAdmin for Mission Critical Linux (http://www.missioncriticallinux.com), and I've been using Amanda here with an HP SureStore 818 DLT changer backing up Linux systems on both sides of our firewall without a problem. Before coming to MCLX, I was at a small division of Bay Networks (bought by Nortel, then sold to Arris Interactive) which also used Amanda. I also used Amanda at 3Com and Raytheon. So, there you have it, there's a list of companies that did use Amanda for backups at least while I was there. I have no knowledge of what any of them use now, however. Hope that helps :) Seeya, Paul -- Paul Lussier (877) 625-4689/(978) 606-0256 Senior Systems and Network Engineer 100 Foot of John Street Mission Critical Linux Lowell, Ma, 01852
