        Hi,
        We evaluated a good product, Open vision/ openV*/Netbackup,
        now called Axial/NetNackup, it has the same facilities
        as ADSM but is able to handle raw volumes, no ADSMPIPE here,
        with its base product and it can multiplex backups to tape.

        It also has an HSM component so space management can be performed
        as well.
