I agree that Arkeia is excellent (and free if you have a Linux server with
a single SCSI tape drive), although it was bloody expensive when buying
the license(s) for the software and the tape library that I used to use
with it.  

These days I tend to use Amanda, free and not too difficult to get up and
running across a network.  Amanda will support just about anything - and
it works with all manner of tape libraries out of the box (assuming that
generic SCSI support is built into the kernel or is available as a module,
although I beleive this is has to be true for Arkeia tape libraries as
well so that it can pick up the tape changer itself).
