We use Bacula (http://www.bacula.org/) for the smaller customers (and 
internally) since it does all we need it to do - but note there's some major 
limitations in capability.   It has proved to be reliable and simple to 
maintain, but for larger customers the volume of data transfer and storage 
makes it more cost effective to use TSM.

So far we've not found any open product that does an incremental forever 
backup, but are continually looking.
