Amanda is working fine here (have been using it for a number of
years). It's a bit of a PITA to set it up, restore is not too easy, but
overall, we have good experience with it. Support large number of tape
drives and tapes, and is strictly CLI and ASCII config files.

I was using NetBackup 4.5 on one tape changer (Sun StorEdge L7) for the
simple reason that we got it with that HW.
