We use amanda at VA Software, and also for sourceforge.net, but while it is
nice as long as your backup sets are smaller than half your tape size, it
starts to choke a bit when you have backups that start reaching your tape
size, and it fails miserably if any backup takes more than your tape.
It is disapointing that in the last 3 years, that major shortcoming hasn't
effectively been fixed, but eh, it's free software, I get to fix it if I'm
not happy :-)
As for autoloaders and tape libraries, you can make it work with mtx, but
expect to have to write some glue and to go through non trivial trial and
error.
