Thank you for the answer. The summary are:

1. most people suggest use Amanda or stctl. Those software support
autoloader and it is free.

2. some people said "ufsdump" also support autoloader, but I heard when
you tried to restore the tape cratridge it is pain.

3. some people said Veritas Netbackup is worth $6000 (business version) to
purchase. It will save you a lot of time.
