I've been using Amanda at home and a couple other sites quite happily for a few years now. I have a 4xDDS2 (4/8GB) juke which it runs very nicely. It was cheap enough for home or a small ISP; you might want something more capacious and therefore expensive (DLT, AIT). I've been backing up FreeBSD-2, -3, and -4 boxes, SunOS, and Solaris boxes; Amanda should work fine on any UNIX. Check www.Amanda.org for caveats on backup of NT: I think it cannot do "active" files such as the registry, but I don't do enough NT to really know. No idea on Netware, RTFM.
