Enterprise Backup, bacula

Motivation

If you want to do backup for a larger organisation with many hosts then you do not want the backup on each individual host but want it centralized. So that e.g. you can search a directory of files that has been backed up from each host. For this you need an enterprise backup solution.

If you want to backup to tape you will need a tape library that can change tapes and tools to maintain the library. On the Linux side there is the free, open source tool: bacula.
