Just curious if anyone is using alternatives to Symantec Backup Exec's DLO 
option (desktop/laptop option).  Basically it provides a mechanism for backing 
up user laptops when the person comes back on-site and plugs into the corporate 
network, it will start to backup/sync their Documents folders, Desktop folders, 
etc. automatically to a local network share without user interaction.  I have a 
customer that is using it on Backup Exec 2010, but Backup Exec 2012 has gotten 
rid of the DLO option from what I understand.   These are the kind of users 
that will never choose to, or remember to, backup their files to a network 
share or home folder or run manual backups with an external USB on their own, 
but they'll be the first to complain when their laptop dies and their data is 
lost. 

Curious as to other alternatives out there for mobile users to -automate- 
backing up their files when they come back to the office. DLO was decent, 
but... 

Thanks
J
