Are you looking for suggestions on a complete backup solution which has autloader support or are you just after information about the tools ?

I've used bacula in production at a  few sites, it has all the enterprise features, except a good GUI ;-)

It can control autoloaders and do full backups each night etc.

http://bacula.org


Typically, people use 'mt' to control autoloaders from the CLI.


Cheers.
