Tape backup/management facilities for a large file server?

Hello,

     We have recently decided to purchase a quite large file server.
We haven't decided on an exact system yet (though we are looking
at a Sun 4/390) but it will have something on the order of 5 to 10
gigabytes of disk.

     With a single system this large we would like to have daily 
system backup tasks done by our relatively unskilled operators.  
This requires a fairly sophisticated tape management facility
similar to those found in most mainframes.

     I would like to hear about any such management facilities
available.  I am particularly interested in packages available
for Suns (since that is the most likely candidate right now)
but would like to hear about systems available for ANY large
unix boxes.

Thanks
--Frank
