Ok maybe I am OVER simplifying this...

If you could cut down how much you are backing up by over 50%, wouldn't
that give you at minimum a 50% performance boost?

Again, not wanting to come across as a salesman for EMC here, but IF,
and that is a BIG IF, their DEDUPLICATOR software works as advertised,
wouldn't the result justify the expenditure?

Food for thought, hope I am not giving you food poisoning... /ALE
