I will not explain to you what Veritas bpVault is then. It might put you 6 feet under. Looks like Legato and Veritas are racing for the award, Joke of Backup Solutions.

NOW I KNOW! Today somebody of Legato announced their new product: Alphastor. With this product you can do on-site and offsite tape rotation? *huh* do we have this for years allready with and without DRM? Oh is this the same as DRM? No Legato only tells you which tapes had to go to where. And they share like Gresham does libraries and drives.... I asked what the benefit was... he could not tell me. He kept talking about Disaster Recovery... I asked if they do something to help me build up my crashed server... No you have to do yourself :( And the biggest laugh I had when they announced that this product gives you the ability to do backup thu a firewall.. Oh someone asked in the room, why is this not in the Networker product? The speaker answered: You have to understand we have a very complex code and such things are not just build in so easy... * lol * I allmost start crying from laughing...... I whispered to the guy : pssst: codename " webports ", he whispered back: " is that a function in Networker?" I said no : Call me and I give you a demo of TSM which has all these things standard built-in.... the looked sad after I was done whispering lol....... Anyhow I feel sorry for all those people who has to live with Legato and how they have to do DRM and such stuff... I did not even asked when they explained to the audience - day - week - month - year backup why they backup data which is not even changed........ How in heavens name can someone buy this crap! I hope you can have a good laugh when you look at their new product.... I will not visit such a event anymore, not good for me :) Make me laugh to much...
