		NEED HELP ON UNATTENDED NETWORK BACKUPS

I am researching various methods of performing unattended backups over a tcp/ip 
network for 20-30 unix workstations.  The network is composed of a mixture 
of Sun, micro-vax, and Tektronix workstations.

We are currently backing up the systems using rdump to 9 track and DC600 tape.

I am especially interested in systems using 8 mm, DAT, or erasable optical
media.

Any information on the following will be greatly appreciated.

  HARDWARE COST

  MEDIA COST

  CAPACITY

  THROUGHPUT

  RESTORE TIMES
 
  SPECIAL FEATURES

  PROBLEM AREAS
 
  SPECIAL BACKUP SOFTWARE or SCRIPTS
