For the corporate user, no one. For the home user, who's
files aren't worth the price of a DAT or DLT, it will allow
them to have up-to-date backups without expending time/money.
The point is to ensure you have backup of all the files
without the need of burning 150-200 or more CD in a row.

I'll be glad if you send me a message with the reference
or some info to start searching. Thanks.
Thank you for your comments; now I have a bigger picture
to still working.
