other open source backup systems include things like Amanda, Bacula, which are more tape oriented, although they can be used with disk archives. Amanda uses tar for the actual backups, and manages/tracks an archive of tar files. These use agents tha thave to be installed on the client systems, while backuppc usually uses ssh+rsync so you just need to do a ssh key exchange with the target (but on a per target basis it can be configured to use various other methods)
Thanks for the advice.
Bacula: "Multi-volume saves. When a Volume is full, Bacula automatically requests the next Volume and continues the backup."
This means I could create several eg 10 TB-volumes, skip the 16 TB-limitation and still get to use the whole 40 TB-diskspace available, right? Or is the referred "volumes" different tapes?
