I previously worked at Florida International University in the Computer Science
department. We used amanda to back up the entire dept network which was several
hundred gigs. With a little reading, testing, and patience, you can get better results
from amanda than from a veritas system, IMHO.

This regular query never made it to the FAQ-O-Matic I see.
A proposal, I'll put together a survey form (sample follows)
and ask the list for submissions.
After a period I'll summarize the data, hopefully in a table
of some form and submit it to the F-O-M.
So, two questions:

For your home machine, amanda still makes sense. It can schedule
full dumps of partitions over multiple nights, etc. and do the
bookkeeping of what is on what tape. I know several people that run
amanda at home.
My department has ~30 employees. We run 2 amanda setups onto DDS3 and
1 onto DDS2,

My current project is to convince a local utility that switching to
amanda from their defunct no-longer-supported backup system is a good
idea.
