IBM TSM for Enterprise; Amanda would be sufficient for Soho / midsize company.

I would like to use Acronis but unfortunately I need to backup to a tape library. I doesn't look like has good support for backup to tape. Am I correct on this. I have between 7 and 10 grand to spend on software to backup 4 Redhat Servers. I am looking for something that's not to complicated. Does anyone use Netbackup?
Thanks

I do a backup to tape using IBM TSM to my TS3500 Library

Looks like Acronis advanced server supports backup tapes.
Thanks for all your help.

If you have the time and will to explore open source, look at bacula as well.
Both have open source and enterprise level versions.
Clonzilla is another option.
The choices depend on the type of restore you are looking at.
File level retore, bare metal restore and everything in between.
