We're using DSSU.  It was free and that was a contributing factor.  At
one point, I was a proponent of VTL technology here but since then, I've
changed my mind and now believe that VTL is a niche market that will be
killed off by the free DSSU functionality.  Veritas originally had a
fairly week implementation of its DSSUs and even in 5.1MP4, it's not
great.  It's supposed to be better in NBU 6, and I expect that it will
continue to evolve and eventually kill off the VTL requirement for the
vast majority of customers.

I think that VTLs will work for us at least as good as DSSUs do.  It's
just that we don't see a need to throw extra $ at the problem today.
