In regard to: Re: [Networker] Backup next step: dedup or BMR, or both?,...:

I do not think there is a one size fits all answer to your question. It
depends on your employer's requirements and budget. For us, de-dup is
far more important than BMR, although BMR would be nice.

Agreed 100% for us too.

... our requirements tilt toward protecting
application data far more than they do protecting the components of BMR.

That perfectly summarizes our needs too.  We can have an OS installed
and configured in a relatively short amount of time.  The time it takes
to get back the application data is generally orders of magnitude longer
than the time it takes to get the OS ready.
