Mondoarchive http://www.mondorescue.org is a GPL and very capable backup /
disaster recovery system.  It produces bootable backups on all sorts of
media, tapes included.  It's free but the author, Hugo Rabson, sells
support at very reasonable rates, $10 per machine AFAIR.  I use it myself
on my work desktop, a devel server and on my home systems.  Work use it
also for a number of other machines.  And it's got some of my code in!...
