Tape Backup on Linux?

[Garrett Ellis]

Hello, all. I would like to implement a tape backup solution on a machine 
running Mandrake 8.0. I am curious to know if anyone else has successfully 
implemented and automated a tape backup system on a reasonably current 
Linux distribution. If so, which devices/software were you successful in 
using? My goal is to build an automated system that requires me to only 
physically check & rotate the tapes myself while having the Linux box 
automatically back everything up.

Any suggestions and input are greatly appreciated. I hope you all have a 
wonderful day.

Thanks,
Garrett Ellis
