We use Tivoli Storage Manager from IBM.  Works great with all operating systems and supports various libraries and tape drives.  We are currently using LTO4 drives in our library.

we currently use a 50TB freebsd host that does nightly rsync. we have
about 9 months of online backups. we have an Overland Neo4200 (50 slot ,
2 LTO3 drives) connected to it. currently we just tar to tape, but are
looking at  HP dataprotector and IBM's backup product for this host.
