I do not use that, all of our servers are home build, using such
things as Debian Linux, ZFS, XFS, GlusterFS, etc; this holds the staff
technical level to a very good skills level and avoid being
stuck/proprietary dependent/contract dependent  when really bad things
happen.

My first goal was to avoid current separated servers for snapshots, but
all of the given answers are driving me toward a simple switch between
snapshots and BPC on the same servers.
Sometimes, you need other's view to see what was obvious!

Thanks to all for your answers/comments ;)
