Hi,

Recently i was told by symantec that using Flashbackup to backup the raw device 
will greatly increased the backup and restore time.

After reading through the admin guide abt the advanced client, i also 
understand that flashbackup also able to do file level restore instead on 
restoring the entire volume which i initially tot is going to be the trade off.

This spark a question, so a flashbackup is almost the same as a normal file 
level based backup which also able to retore individual files, wat are the cons 
of using flashbackup beside higher cost to buy the advanced client licenses? 
Anyone here knows the pros and cons? 

Regards
