Backups use Tar. Bootable tapes not possible, but dvd-r's would be with a rh kickstart system on the dvd and a script to do the tar restore as one hit.

But I though I would ask again here to see what is recommended and why. In other words tell me what you like and which ones to stay away from. I need something that is basically simple that writes to a direct attached tape drive. It would be nice if the backup was bootable to be able to do a complete bare metal restore.
