I'm the sysadmin for two research groups here (total of about 30 or so 
faculty/staff/grad students), both with large data storage needs.  I use 
two amanda configs.  The first backs up the 30 or so desktops etc to a 7GB 
native exabyte drive.  Total amount of data is about 50GB.

The second backs up the 3 RAIDs in use for the groups (.5TB, 1TB, 2TB) to 
an Overland AIT3 changer (1 drive, 19 tapes).  There's currently about 2TB 
worth of data spread over the 3 arrays.

If you search the archives, you can find more threads like this, and more 
answers.  There are some folks running very large installs (both in terms 
of numbers of clients and in terms of amount of data.

Good luck.
