Tech Field Day 7 -- Austin : Day 1 Overview -The Symantec Backup Appliance Overload!

 

My Thoughts on our Mid Morning visit at Symantec.

 

My two cents are, these are great for remote sights, and offices. But, I wish we could run these with the same licensing, as below, but within a virtual appliance.
