If only there was a site dedicated completely to backup, where there was a
forum _and_ mailing list dedicated to general backup discussions.... It would
be, like, a CENTRAL place to discuss backup issues, regardless of product...
Hmmmm.... You might be on to something.

While brief discussions or comparisons of other products to NetWorker are
fine and even useful, ultimately this list is about NetWorker, not how
NetWorker compares to product X.

I would say let them do it somewhere else. Take it to a "general
enterprise backup list". Let the religious wars and unsubstantiated
opinions flourish there.

Then they should be doing their research, including subscribing to mailing
lists dedicated to the other products, or where the focus is of a more
general nature.
