I have an HP LTO6 tape drive attached to a home server running Windows Server 2012R2. The computer is linked to numerous network shares on a NAS, which I'd like to back up to tape. I'm looking for backup software that has the ability to a) backup network NAS shares to tape, b) runs on Windows Server 2012R2, and c) is cheap.
Because the shares are larger than the capacity of a single tape, spanning would be necessary. And, considering this is a home PC, cost is a major factor -- most solutions for Server are extremely expensive. For instance, the Symantec Backup Exec 2008 I use at work (also, Symantec no longer makes BE.)
I also recently used a trial of Backupassist, but it apparently doesn't allow tape spanning? What options are out there that I haven't considered?
