Part of what set this off, BTW, is that I lost one of my big RAID's, and did a 600GB restore. That took about a day and a half. Then, the next five days in a row we got socked with 600GB of data backup charges, as that 600GB got backed onto level 5,4,3,2,1 tapes in that order...
The more I think about that, the more I suspect the backup scheme is designed to maximize revenue rather than pursue any theory about data retention. If so, you may not be able to get changes made at all. (Although I suppose it could be a "we do it this way by default, if they catch on, let them spec their preferred sequence" maximizing income from the naïve.)
