Excellent!
The question is how seemless is it? Can they stream out
their images into a tape archive? It should be possible.
What about importing back a stream from a tape archive into a
disk image? That also should be possible.
The ability to make verification and restores -- the two most
overlooked details of off-site backup -- are what make VTL
systems/approaches most lauded.
