I use amanda to backup the home dirs of ~20 desktops to a little Exabyte 
drive and to backup ~5.5TB of formatted space on 4 servers to an Overland 
AIT3 library with 2 drives.  One of the nicer benefits of amanda is that 
you can get the data off the tapes with nothing but basic utilties (dd, 
mt, and restore/tar) if the amanda tools aren't available to you at 
recovery time.
