-> mixed media support (its lack of it), which probably will never be fixed now 
that you can partition (most) large libraries.

-> NW licensing in general - Ick (the extra upgrade enabler for 7.3.x+ did not 
help any).  I give credit that they removed the need for ClientPacks.

-> de-dupe support.  The stuff I've seen on their support site tonight 
(regarding 7.4.1 and the de-dupe node) can easily make you think that an Avamar 
server is not needed, but I suspect it still does.  This adds the gripe that NW 
should just merge the Avamar code in and be done with it (same for merging 
AlphaStor into NMC while they're at it).

-> I'll also add a vote towards cloning and offsite tape support.  AlphaStor 
filled the offsite management beautifully IMO but is generally not worth the 
costs.  The fact that 3.1 is EOL'ing this year appears to bear that out.

-> Proper DR site support.  One of the most annoying things to me is the fact 
that I can't have a second server licensed at a 'cold' DR site, even if the 
processes are turned off.  My understanding is that NetBackup and CommVault 
both allow this, why not Networker?
