I am on the AMANDA list that another poster mentioned. From what I gather, AMANDA, in the latest beta, can do back-ups to disk (which is what you would want to do in your "proof".
What exactly are you trying to back up that needs proving? Across the network, even to SMB clients (Windows) can be done. I backup the local machine (with the tape drive) and a Windows 98 client. Having used AMANDA for a year now, and being on the list, I'm not sure what AMANDA can't do. Well, the only thing I know that it won't do is spanning a single file system across multiple tapes. You would need multiple disk entries to back it up.
