Yes, I would agree with that.  I've only used it for smaller operations
(< 50 dedicated clients, or <75 mixed dedicated and laptop) and have
only used it with single drive tape libraries.  But it does fit the
bill.

One warning I forgot about the product. It has a 'different' approach
to how backups are done.  Well, not really different, but just limited.
Everything is (unless they have changed this recently) an inc.  The
first backup is just a really big inc ;)
