I just looked at the Arkeia web page, and it looks like the license for the free version is quite restricted: "The Arkeia free version is a fully enabled copy of Arkeia for Linux for 1 server attached to a single-tape tape drive (SCSI) and 2 Type-2 client machines. It has NO time limit and can provide you with interactive and periodic backups. The license for the Arkeia Free Version is free for personal AND commercial use." Don't you have a tape changer, Jon? How did you work around this limitation? R
