At work I use AMANDA.

Have about 15 Servers going into it.
Probably another 19 after about two weeks.
I just received 19 each IBM Netfinity 5000's
(From which I promptly removed the IBM raid card,
	plugged the HD's into the motherboard,
	and zapped the W2K and NT4 that the UNCF
	decided I needed, w/o license key... :) )
