Yes we to are a veritas / netapp shop.  The features
look extremely interesting until you look at the
pricetag that is attached.  Veritas charges per gig
for the storage behind the technology even though they
have nothing to do with that storage.  From what we
have seen equated to our needs, it is very very
expensive.  Something that my fortune 100 company
doesn't even want to cough up.
