They're a little mistrusting of dedupe on the basis "It's a database it can go wrong", to which my retort was largely a combination of having to have faith in an established vendor, combined with "If a database gives you a value you assume it's correct, you don't think "what if the database has corrupted the value" because you have faith in the checks and balances that ensure the data is atomic". So, what are you views on dedupe when it comes to backups? ________________________________________ MIRA Ltd NOTICE: Florida has a broad public records law.
