Tapeware 8(or whatever their new enterprise edition that was just released) is suppose to be much better. I find 7 to be just a bad hack job. The small business edition that is priced like tapeware 7 will be released here in a month or so. I'll post my thoughts on this product after we upgrade. The key feature that I'm looking forward to on this is that tapeware 8 will have much better support for backup to disk to tape support. I hate dealing with tapes on a daily basis, so I backup to disk during the week/month then backup to tape. This also shortens the turnaround when someone deletes something to about 3 minutes and no physical body relocation in order to achieve it.

I was curious what others are using for their tape backup software.
We have a copy of TapeWare 7.0, which is ok, but seems more confusing
then it needs to be.  I like the Windows backup software that came
with the Windows 2003 server OS but I can't find anyway to have it use
our tape autoloader automatically (change tapes when one is full).

Looking for suggestions on other products to consider.
