We've got some filesystems containing 4-5 million files on relatively low performance sata raid arrays. Trying to back these up at the filesystem level was taking anywhere from 20-30 hours for fulls. Once we implemented the Flashbackup component, fulls took about 3-4 hours to complete. Very cool piece of software.
Also seems like the naming changes are getting out of control. The license is called the 'Enterprise Client' and the software component is now the 'Snapshot Client'. Hopefully they'll keep these for a while.
