Backup must always be looked at as insurance is.

You CAN own a home without purchasing insurance against theft, or fire, or weather. But do you?

If your home burns or is flattened by a tornado or hurricane ore *reallybigtree how can you afford to rebuild your home. NOW I don't kow you so perhaps it's possibly that you are wealthy and can rebuilt with money from your bank account or from selling another asset. But most people cannot so they pay insurance because the risk is too high.

So it is with backup. You can say OK I will risk the fact that I do not have off-site backups. Hopefully it will never happen that will need it and if I do need it because my building burned down I will simply close my business. Or I can stand the time it takes to rebuild my computer from various pieces.

But most companies cannot afford to lose their computer system. And if you cannot then you must, for the continuance of the business, have a set of data off-site, readily accessible, to recover the computer and thus continue the business.

So the decision to spend the money is exactly the decision to purchase insurance.

That's the reason to go with VTL.

VTL is definitely sounding like the way to go.

And - if you can live with some little restrictions compared to the big
ones, you get this for free but still with support...

Free is good. Getting approval to actually spend money is challenging at
best.
