I would use amanda no matter what hardware I chose. To be fair I do not know about commercial solutions that may exist. Also, if you have a slow link anywhere in between your hosts a networked backup solution may be problematic. With Amanda's scheduling capability you might even find that a robot is not really necessary, depending on your total disc usage among all hosts. E.g. Assuming a week long dump cycle with a 70GB DLT with hardware compression you could handle 490 GB (minus a fudge factor) of allocated disc. Thank you, Jason C.
