I have been running my college's backups using amanda on 6 BSDi machines
and 1 exabyte tape drive...it has been working quite well.  Toss in a few
scripts to automate some things and it runs more or less unattended.

Amanda is fairly easy to setup and run.  I would definitely be willing to
help out in any way possible.
