My recommendation remains the same: changing backup products is a bad

of licensing is a really bad idea and won't save you money, will
probably cost you money, and will result in instability and a lot of
pain.

Indeed...  It's like looking for the optimum pick in the stock
market: today's underpriced gem may be next month's rhinestone.  Once
the new vendor has you in their clutches, the next contract period
may have a rather different price.  That said, IBM still needs to get
back to realism in its licensing algorithms.
