This reminds me of the solid state drive announcement what must be 15 years ago now..
I was still in high school when that was announced for "consumer" usage. Actually may have been 8th grade or freshman year.

eh? you were in high school when consumer used SSD were announced? UH.. ok perhaps my old man brain is off - it could have been more like 1998 when ( I think it was IBM) announced an all solid state drive in the lab. It was a pretty amazing thing to consider back then.. now days - meh

@coliver Yes, and the owner was loath to buy something else after dumping a bunch of money into BE, so that was likely the culprit. But now we have 3x big, fast DAS boxes with tons of storage for backups. No DR plan, but lots of fast storage now.
Yep... anytime I hear about someone having issues with backup it generally means they were using Backupexec.... It was notorious when I was starting out (granted not that long ago) for mangling tapes.
I used many versions of BE, from Veritas to Symantec back to Veritas. The BE product I rarely had issue with, the other backup products Symantec came out with were a whole other story.

Yes, when consumer SSDs were announced long before they were affordable I was just going into highschool... 98... would have been Elementary?

yeah i guess Intel announces those Extreme Processors for consumers, but they definitely were NEVER affordable. More like a mortgage. lol
