In that case, you'll also be in love with the fact that NetWorker has been 
enhanced to detect when it used with virtual tape devices of the EMC Disk 
Library and to turn off the various mechanical delays/timers automatically.  In 
addition, an EDL option is to have NetWorker storage node embedded inside the 
EDL.  This allows the storage node to be used as a 'clone engine', reading from 
virtual tapes, and writing to physical tapes, or via IP to remote storage 
nodes.  Because NetWorker makes these copies, it knows that they exist, and 
where they are.  Other replication options can't provide this.

And there's more integration coming.
