I tried installing it for an evaluation and gave up after three days,
none the wiser as to what it does or whether it does in fact make coffee
and butter toast for you. So I expect three days professional services
is probably an underestimate for retrofitting it into an existing setup.

Subject: [Networker] EMC Backup Advisor???

I have been told by different archive professionals that EMC Backup
Advisor is "DA BOMB".

Then I get quotes...are they on CRACK or just crazy?

I mean honestly, am I just misunderstanding the complexity of this
product? 

Why would we need 3 days of engineering to install a program that is
supposed to generate reports on a product that is already working?

What am I missing, besides 

<insert Tom Cruise TOP GUN voice here>
"I FEEL THE NEED..."
"...THE NEED FOR GREED"

<Key up TOP GUN SOUND TRACK
 except this time the song is MONEY
YOU HEAR THE sound of a CASH REGISTER>

Seriously?

Semper Fidelis, /ALE
