[olug] Cost effective enterprise backup

[Craig Wolf]

+1 CommVault
I have used CommVault in the past and was REALLY happy with it after going
through 4 others.  I would love to go back to CommVault if I can swing the
cost.  I also had a fantastic support structure through a VAR for CommVault
that solved my issues most every time but we did reach out to CV for
assistance a few items and they were very good too!

We use Yosemite where I am now...it is adequate, nothing special. It IS
very inexpensive though.
