Can anyone suggest a simple backup package for us? Essentially a single server, full backup to tape every day. We don't need tape management as we're fully capable of reading the written label on the tape ourselves.

Do you need tape backups?

If the answer to that last question is "no", consider BackupPC. It's open source and comparatively easy to setup, and even easier to use, unless you're a total n00b, like I was at first.

BackupPC has a very good support mailing list.

HTH.
