Sounds like Bacula or Amanda is what I'm looking for, I'll make my choice and continue on from there. Let it never be said that anyone came away from this list thirsting for knowledge.
Thanks very much everyone.

The IBM developers have made sure that all IBM tape devices are supported by Linux on System z, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're running SLES, then Amanda is what we ship and support. The crew at Sine Nomine Associates has gotten standard label support added to Bacula, which is way cool, but we don't ship or support Bacula.
