Dan,
One thing to be careful about when setting up your backups is how the software deals with open files. We were using Ultrabac in our plants which holds the file being backed up open in deny write mode. What started happening is the tape filled while it had one of the .rb? files open. So it sat there waiting for someone to replace the tape; meanwhile, nobody could save any data. Disastrous! We now make nightly archives of the database and have those backed up while the .rb? files are specifically excluded from the backup.

I know there is some like Symantec(VERITAS) backup but they are expensive. TIA Dan Goldberg
