Server Backup Software

Just a question about backup software.

I have a W2K file server where all my users store their files and profiles and such, and I would like to find a decent software package that will just back up the server to it's connected tape drive. I don't need to back up the client machines because the users all store their data on the server, so nothing overly fancy (has to back up open files).
I'd also like to be able to have it automatically eject the tape after it's done running (has to have a scheduler of course).

Anyone got any good suggestions for this? What ones work or don't work?

Thanks!

Try the backup program that came with windows. It works very well for me.
I used veritas when I first started here and it was nothing but a headache.

I agree, veritas really sucks, just use the built in win2k backup.

veritas is crap,

run ntbackup from the run prompt, very easy backup software, and you can now backup to file or tapes etc, ideal for a nas setup
