I use DPA for so many things...
SLA agreement reports, Federal mandated agency report analysis reports,
Anticipated media usage reports/purchasing projections for tape and disk
(read that as Capacity Planning). Add your cost formula for backups in,
given to you from bean counters, and pass the cost of data storage on to
the data hogs who use it the most. DPA can present the cost to each Line
of Business.
Or if you are performing backups as a consultant to your customers, give
them accurate billing... hey they want to save money on
backup/replication costs... change the data to suit your budget.
Hey did I mention it is integrated with VMware? The troubleshooting
data, I just think it is incredible. Oh and by using this, you can
actually do a much better job of load balancing your backup servers and
nodes.
