I am currently running a Dell LT02 8 tape autoloader with AMANDA under Linux RedHat ES3. I've also run AMANDA under NetBSD with a single SCSI tape drive. I think it will meet your needs. You will need to integrate the MTX tools for automating the loader with AMANDA. There are lots of docs around for AMANDA including an excellent chapter that is reprinted from the Unix Backup book -- a search should find that pretty easily -- I think Storage Mountain has a link to it on their website. My advice -- READ EVERYTHING and get a feeling for how the various config files interact. I've had great luck with AMANDA and would recommend it -- and yes, I have restored files from the backups.
