Amanda works well, tho I did not had to check on restore yet :) I
think the restore works a bit like retore(8) does. You select the
files you want from a list then extract, and it will prompt you for
the tapes (or get them from your tape charger).
One good point, the user list is *active*, developpers do answer
questions, even stupid questions that could be solved by RTFM (I did
ask such question :)
I had it compiled on FreeBSD (various flavors), Solaris (old,
including SunOS 4.1). I heard there is issue with older Linux kernel.

Dunno what LTO is, my Amanda server is FBSD 4.3
According to a friend, best commercial would be by Veritas, tho their
FreeBSD client is old (3.3).
Best regards,
Olivier
