LTO3 is the standard these days... LTO4 will be out midyear hopefully and maybe LTO3 prices will come down.
I use BRUServer for network backup. It provides similar services to what your planning to use Amanda for. They maintain a good bit of information at their websites about drives & scsi cards. I'm on an older RHEL kernel which they don't support because of scsi problems that require me to reboot it about 4:00am each day to keep the tape drive in view or it disappears. Other than that, the setup works well and LTO3 is fast.

Hello all.
I have 15 or so CentOS servers (now v4.4, I will upgrade them all to 5 when it comes out) and a few windows machines. I am looking to implement a network backup solution using Amanda.
I will be backing up 200 gig or so to start, but that will grow.
Does anyone have any recommendations on tape drives that will work "out of the box" with CentOS?
Thanks,
Joe
