I didn't specifically think of asking about what sort of storage options were 
in use in relation to disk backup vs vtl vs ptl, etc., but it's a good point, 
it would be interesting to see. I might aim to ask some questions around this 
in a month or two; once the results of the survey are in and I've posted a 
summary onto the list, if people think it's worthwhile to periodically collate 
usage information I'll aim to do a storage options survey in a while as well.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Cheers,

Preston.
