[TriLUG] RE: Tape backup software

[Meyer, David R]

I currently work for Computer Associates, but have have four years in
the Storage Industry as a reseller SE with two different companies.  I
am certified on Veritas NetBackup, BakBone's NetVault, Legato's
NetWorker, and I am very familiar with CommVault's Galaxy.

Having said all that, please consider the ARCserve for Linux product
from Computer Associates.  Not only has CA made a significant investment
in support Linux through partnerships with SuSE / United Linux and Red
Hat, the development is constantly ongoing.  What is really nice about
it is that with the newest version about to be released you are able to
open up a java gui from any web browser and control your backups that
way.  It's a really sharp program, and would certainly do what you are
looking for...and more.

I wanted to know what people would recommend for a big time Tape Storage
Library system?  Basically my group is inheriting a StorageTek 9714 tape
Library that has 5 DLT7000 drives and 48 slots.  We would want to use a
Linux server to provide the SCSI connection and network connection to
the clients which would be a mix of Windows, Linux, SunOS and Macs.  Any
good recommendations from the OpenSource or ClosedSource worlds? 
Cheaper is better, but if it means a lot less headaches we will shell
out the cash.  Thanks for any ideas!
