Amanda is a good free choice. Requires a bit of patching for simple features like "fill unused portion of tape". Amanda is commandline oriented (ie no gui and no curses access). BRU is a good choice since their licensing is very straightforward. The software is good and designed to allow you to share devices if necessary. Access is GUI but can be scripted. Arkeia is a good choice, but their licensing gets very expensive on large networks. They also use proprietary drivers and hold exclusive locks on device access. Access is GUI 100%. Which one you choose should depend on you trying one of each. Blue skies... Todd - -- | MandrakeSoft USA | Security is like an onion.
