Yawn - old news
Veritas has been doing continuous backups for years. Who cares about backups anyway? IT managers never get fired if their backups don't happen.
They get fired if their *recoveries* don't happen!
And there are two types of recoveries... The 'I deleted my file stupid user recovery' and 'the building is a smoking hole recovery'. Disk & tapes each have strengths and weaknesses for both recoveries. Thus, proper data protection needs both.
