Anything you could expand on there? We tend to buy Dell kit and I got our account manager to have a word with Commvault and hopefully they are sending someone in. I've asked if we could get PDFs of the manuals or something to give us an idea how the product works.
Seems Dell mostly supply Commvault and Backupexec but other than white papers it's proving hard to find practical reasons to look at one over the other. regards, Paul -- Paul Hutchings Network Administrator, MIRA Ltd.
