Bacula anyone?

According to me Bacula is alot more business-ready than Amanda & derivates.

I ain't saying Amanda is bad, ofcourse not. But we provide linux services & installations and when it comes down to real business requirements from customers that want to use Open Source software, Bacula seems to be the best product. It supports alot of features that are still in the wishlist of Amanda. Just check it out at www.bacula.org and read the featurelist, it's huge !

Bacula works pretty well. I've used Bacula internally, and Veritas externally for an off-site backup, and in many ways Bacula is probably better to set up and use - and cheaper. It is pretty feature complete as well.
