That's a subjective question. It really depends on what else you have
at your site, what you want to back up to, what you're comfortable
with.

TSM supports AFS. So does TiBS. Don't want a commercial product? There
are tools to allow use of Amanda or Bacula. Or perhaps you want to
have
backups in the form of storage with volume dumps, in which case
scripts dumping to an HSM or something else elsewhere might be your
choice.

It also depends how you define "better" :)
