I've got a couple of customers using it. I'm not impressed. First off the
back up is limited to the speed of the actual throughput of the internet
line so if you have quite a bit (>100GB) to back up, you might not get it
done in 24 hours depending on your line.
Until the announcement you still needed on site media to do a DR recovery,
(and I'm not convinced you still don't) and I've never seen a clean recovery
from the cloud, regardless of vendor product. It might work fine for
Microsoft and Unix systems, but I'll never trust my IBM i to it.

Guys, for some reason I remember hearing at last year's spring event that
IBM was working on allowing BRMS to interact with AWS to allow the IBM I
to
backup to cloud storage. Have any of you heard anything about this or am I
just dreaming?
Thanks
Hoss
