The backup would be pretty simple-just four servers to back up, using DDS4 tapes. A GUI interface is fairly important, as I'm not that adept with the command line.

From the reading I've done, Amanda doesn't seem to have a GUI, and Bacula looks very complex. I read about DAR and KDAR, which sound possible. I don't have any experience to judge what might be right for us, though. Anyone have any input on one of these, or some other suggestion?
