I just started experimenting with both,
flexbackup : Free
BRU:	    : Costs money

My criteria is:
1: must span multiple tapes
2: must work with a Tape Library
3: must have comand line interface for automation of backups
4: must be able keep database both on tape and on disk of tape/volume contents.
5: must automaticly verify data written to tape
6: must be easy to extract a single file from archive

Initial thoughts/experiances
flexbackup;
works well in a single server/tape environment.
According to the docs does not support spanning tapes at this time.
By default only keeps a database on disk but is written in perl so should be able to be modified with a fair amount of ease.
I Have not gotten it to work with my tape Library yet.

BRU;
Better documentation then flexbackup
Automaticaly does verification of data
Works with my tape Library
have not verified spanning tapes yet
keeps log/datase on disk, and with minor modification of script will put toc on tape
emails success/failure at completion

I am still experimenting but am leaning toward BRU.


/Jeff
