I would like to move away from Veritas, just personal preference - for what any of their products cost, I personally think it is not worth it.
Amanda doesnt span volumes/tapes.
backuppc doesnt do tapes, and I have a few terabytes to backup in one shot, so disk as a target isnt such a good option.
Not to poopoo anyones suggestion, but I pretty much need an enterprise level solution for soda pop price! ;-)
Thanks! Chris

Hi Chris,
Have you looked at Veritas Backup Exec? I believe it is a lower end of
the NetBackup software but nicer and easier to use. You may be able to
get an upgrade at a good price. It has linux, unix and windows clients.
~ We use it with an LTO library but it handles a single drive as well.
