[CLUE-Tech] backup solution

[Mike Staver]

Can anybody suggest a good backup solution? I'm looking for a good combo 
of hardware and software.  Right now, my company currently has a DDS3 
autoloader tape drive that can hold up to 24 gig per tape.  It holds 7 
tapes.  So, we're getting very cramped for space on that considering our 
mail server alone takes up 8.5 gig of that nightly.  I had been looking 
at a DDS4 tape drive that holds up to 120 gig per tape - and that may be 
what we go with.  I'm not sure though if that's a good idea - and if we 
did, are there some nice open source packages out there to work with it? 
  I currently use Veritas 8.6, but it's aging fast.
