It's not the application that needs to support the device type, it's the operating system. The IBM developers have made sure that all IBM tape devices are supported by Linux on System z, so that shouldn't be an issue. If you're running SLES, then Amanda is what we ship and support. The crew at Sine Nomine Associates has gotten standard label support added to Bacula, which is way cool, but we don't ship or support Bacula.
