Does this exist somewhere or someone have a better idea?


A former colleague who is fond of TSM has been known to recommend Amanda
to Linux sites that couldn't afford TSM (or had political issues with
Tivoli). I've never worked with it, and I have no idea how well it
support low-end tape facilities, but it might be worth looking into. I
don't think it's meant to be a clone of TSM, but it seems to address
some of the same issues.
