I'm surprised about the "locked in" comment. Can you explain ?

We were a Legato NetWorker shop that was persuaded to go the Veritas NetBackup
route because of their pricing. Seems that they've gotten more expensive and 
our 
experience since NetBackup 6.0 didn't help either. Other backup vendors 
are starting to get more attention ...
