[ale] Backup Software

[James P. Kinney III]

Arkeia does all you ask for. Plus it can run on multiple platforms as
server, has multiple client platforms, java gui for non-X environments,
native scheduling and supports (nearly) every tape drive/autoloader on
the planet. The price is reasonable. It also support bare iron recovery
of the server itself and can do a bare iron recovery of any client that
can boot from a floppy or CD (I have not tested either of these as they
are relatively new features). If someone is familiar with "Big Iron"
back up tools like HP's and others in that class, the setup will be
familiar (tape bundles, groups, libraries, rotation schedules, tape
lifetime counts, etc).

They have a light version available for personal use (free!) and they
will provide a time-limited version of the full blown setup to support
what ever tape library you need for free with support to get it up and
going.
