Think about it this way:

If you're backing up to tape, jobs smaller than a full tape waste tape,
because you can't make the tape smaller.

But if you're backing up to disk, putting more than one batch of jobs
into a volume wastes disk.  Because you can't compact a disk volume, and
you can't delete it until you no longer need the *LAST* job written to
it.  But you *can* make a disk volume as small as you like.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
