Heh... I don't believe most of the companies I know with those kind of storage dynamics would classify themselves that way at all. For many of them 'high tech' is so far from their primary line of business it's almost funny. > > Restoration of a 35GB database falls well within the > established SLAs > > for many of my customers.

I use NTBackup and backup to disk. More than acceptable for my organization. In the event of a complete disaster our downtime is only 90 seconds, and restore would be completed within a day. Microsoft's internal case study indicates they have 20 databases per server, with a maximum database size of 50GB and a restore SLA of less than 1 hour per database. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/msit/operations/msgbrtcs.ms px > > Hmm...
