  Uhhhhh

  Upwards of seven years ago, I used Amanda to back up hundreds of
machines nightly, in a paying production environment (i.e. customers
paying real $$$$, not a school).  It worked great then.  Now I back up
about two dozen machines in three states with it, using a changer.  It
still works great now.

  Now sure, there are a few things I don't like about it, but face
it...it's the only game in town, and it DOES work rather well.
