FWIW, I've used AMANDA for years, and never had any problems with it
(other than hardware issues, but they don't count against the software).

I would personally consider AMANDA to be a substantially better system
than any of the commercial offerings I've used. It's extremely flexible,
and "just works". And there's no GUI, which I'd also consider an
advantage, as I see no reason to run X on a server.
