Honestly backup space is weirdly sparse for anything on enterprise scale.
For anything more than few machines there is bacula/bareos (that pretends everything is tape with mostly miserable results), backuppc (that pretends tapes are not a thing, with miserable results), and that's about it, everything else seems to be point-to-point backups only with no real central management.
Are talking about open source only? Because there are loads of options available. Veritas has two products (netbackup and backupexec). There is also commvault, veeam, ibm spectrum protect and hp data protector. Admittedly only netbackup and commvault are what I would truly call enterprise, but your options are certainly not limited.
As someone who used to administer an ADSM server back a long time ago -- I'm curious what the gap between spectrum protect or whatever it's called now and commvault/netbackup? I've haven't really looked at that space for at least a decade.
You can add amanda to the "pretends everything is tape with mostly miserable results" list.
