> Not sure why anyone would want to use anything other than Teradactyl. As with all else, it depends on your requirements.
Teradactyl is clearly a solution targeting the enterprise space with enterprise capability, support, overheads, and pricing. TSM and NetBackup target the same space (although AFS support varies) For those who either want, need, or are required to have solid disaster recovery and business continuity plans (demonstrable to competent auditors, not those who want a "backup?, yes" check mark), enterprise solutions (including their costs) are usually the only ones that provide comfort to the C level execs, and they are the ones who have to decide if they can "risk the business" by not having a solid plan. As with much else, it is possible for organizations to build an enterprise class solution in house. These tend to be very house specific though (because of the long term built-in presumptions). They are often better at solving the point needs of that particular house than a generic solution. At the other extreme, not everyone needs to be able to recover their data in the event of a major disaster, or even a bus event (the key system admin got run over by a bus).
