I specifly looking for the ability to backup multiple machines to a single tape server machine, and to have the ability to controll a automatic tape changer. So far amanda does what I need, but it doesn't support writing a backup across more than one tape, or to write to multiple tape drives if the tape library has more than one tape writer. BRU didn't look like a good match, but I'd be interested in the experience of someone who's actually used it.
