I'd like to see some implementation of "distributed" backup. Something like
client devices, centralized database. Server to server gives some field to
play here, but it's not a real distributed backup solution. 

Client devices would allow for great reduction in network traffic, whe were
working with large clients (mainly databases) or slow lines.

This would lead to anoyther wish: Distributed ADSM database 8-)
