Why is everyone so hung up on volume backups?
It strikes me that file-level backups are generally a lot easier to
work with, and use less archival media.
Restore time in DR situations. Volume-level backups are a LOT faster to
restore, and you don't have to configure anything special -- you restore
all the data to disk using the same tools, regardless of source.
It shouldn't be hard to create a tape (or something) that IPLs and
restores. Should it?
