You would have to pay for a 'real' VTL, so MHVTL is a very good option for training and just playing about.

It runs only on Linux, best bet is probably to install NBU on the same serevr, I have used iscsi to present it to a Master and a separate media so have a SSO setup.
It's easy to use, there is enough into in the links above to get going, just takes a bit of playing around - it's kinda neat, you can even eject tapes from the MAP and it has cleaning tapes as well ...
