For enterprise level backup solution – No .

I recommend EMC products due to their stability.

VTL, Dedupe and replication.

No, it was the first VTL we used for customers and because of its function and uptime we can’t see a reason to change to another vendor.

A walk in the park = straightforward.

Both vendor and in-house. The vendor had a high level of expertise.

No.

Read the config and admin guides for products and as well implementation guides for backup vendors, for my customers, IBM TSM.
