Do they really understand Linux is a core element in "the internal and external cloud infrastructure". Or are they just another overblown block/storage volume transfer and backup tool -- which then requires a secondary process or excessive overhead to extract a single file?
Hey @G Olson - a better way to say it is that it's backup (and recovery too!) for Linux operating systems - whether they be physical and in your data center, virtual machines or in the public cloud.
In regards to secondary process or overhead, it's rather easy. The big win is centralized management for a lot of Linux systems being backed up.
