I haven't seen this marketing ploy before. If you want to do a 'cloud' backups for your systems, you can steal their idea to 'sell' it to management.
This add also shows how much backing up your server is worth on a cloud service is worth to THEM. Interesting numbers. I have no opinion about this service. This is not either an endorsement or slam on them. ><> ... Jack Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart... Colossians 3:23 "You don't manage people; you manage things.
