We have a bit of a problem with backups. We've been using bacula to tape and now trying to disk but it's a complete nightmare as regards tape management.
i suspect it's quite annoying when people try to re-engineer your request, but i use bacula for some fairly large installations (several hundred LTO2 tapes, 60-tape dual-drive stacker with barcode support, 5TB of staging disc, that sort of thing) as well as my much-smaller home backups, and find its tape management lovely - after i made one or two small but important tweaks.
if you're not already so sick of bacula that the mere name makes you break out in hives, might i ask what problems you've been having? on- or off-list is fine, as you prefer.
