Tony is not alone, not in the slightest. Brian White has spoken up,
others might or might not, but I will too.

For backups. Tony, and I, and most everoyne else, *also* install tapes.

And those of us who think business data are essential to the survival
of a business see to it that the business uses BackupEDGE or LoneTar to
put bit-level verified backups on those tapes.

If you don't want to use either of them, don't. If you're happy with
the features afforded by your scripts, stay happy. If your scripts'
reliability is moot and that's OK for you, live that way.

But insofar as you have not tried any of those products, you do not know
what you are talking about (in particular, you do not seem to understand
that backups are just one of their features, the cloning of machines
being another), and thus you should stop your unfounded disparagement of
them.
