Get yourself a web demo with Aptare.

Seriously, no kickbacks required.....very cool, powerful product that'll
make any backup admin's life easier.
I'd like to see their stats from web demos vs purchases....I'm sure
there's a very high correlation.

        How many times have you been asked this question?
=09
         "What are we NOT backing up?"
           or the ever popular,
         "What do you mean we're not backing up clientA?!? Didn't you
know we
         added it last month?"
=09
        Usually, this is being asked by someone that doesn't understand
the
        question, or the amount of pain you have to go through to get
the
        answer. You could do a bpcoverage, but that is time-consuming
and
        doesn't tell you anything about clients you don't know about at
all.
=09
        We just got a look at Aptare's new Discovery module for Storage
Console
        and it looks like it addresses these and other questions. It's
using
        bpcoverage, but it's also pulling different data from SNMP and
other
        sources to give an overall picture of what's out there that you
don't
        know about because department X didn't think to tell you. Which,
of
        course, won't matter when they ask for a restore on a box you
aren't
        backing up.
=09
        It definitely has some potential. I would recommend getting a
        livemeeting with Aptare to take a look at it if you are in an
        environment where what you don't know CAN hurt you. ;-)
