That's a great suggestion, David--thanks!  I looked at AMANDA once upon a time, but it lacked key library support then, so I had to bail on it.  Since then, I know there was a company called Zmanda that strove to improve the code & capabilities, but I lost track of how far things got.

I'll definitely look into having someone from either (or both!) project out for a talk.
