Apart from that, if you take a closer look at what you = are trying to sell here, it is just marketing fluff. Let=E2=80=99s take ransomware detection as an example. It is more than do= ubtful that what you are selling now is any different from what you alrea= dy tried to market some time ago as PodHeitor. It was ineffective and poi= ntless then, and nothing here suggests that has changed. Your claim of deduplication with a 60x factor is highly questionable. I h= ave no idea how you arrive at such numbers =E2=80=93 presumably under ide= alized lab conditions with a carefully selected configuration that has li= ttle to do with reality. You also write: =E2=80=9C=46rom the mainframe to Microsoft 365 in one place =E2=80=94 21 = database, virtualization and cloud plugins.=E2=80=9D I assume you do not have a mainframe at home, and it does not appear on y= our actual plugin list either. This makes your marketing statement mislea= ding at best. As PodHeitor there was ever SAP HANA. You never can provide= this as you must be a partner and you are not. Your so=E2=80=91called =E2=80=9Chigh availability=E2=80=9D is no such thi= ng; at most it is a simple failover where you copy files somewhere else u= sing SCP/S=46TP. Architecturally, this is just wrong and falls far short = of what real HA means in enterprise backup. Is this really automatic fail= ure=3F Ask you AI, it is not. Your entire solution looks just as fragile as your previous offerings tha= t you kept promoting with bpipe and similar tools. There is also no transparent price list, just a vague promise to be 50% c= heaper than Veeam. Where are your actual prices=3F On your own site, you = instead advertise discounts of =E2=80=9C=E2=89=A5 50% off your current Ve= eam / Commvault / NetBackup contract,=E2=80=9D which raises even more que= stions about how realistic and sustainable your pricing is. Based on the documents you have published in the past, it is doubtful tha= t you even fully understood what your AI-generated material is saying. Most of the features you list here are not innovations at all but a cheap= copy of what you have simply recompiled or repackaged from Bacula Commun= ity, which already offers many plugins and advanced backup functions in o= pen source form. The more interesting question is how you and your development team intend= to further develop Bacula Core itself, or whether you are once again jus= t waiting for the next community release so you can copy new features int= o your product. Innovation does not come from copy and paste. It comes from original desi= gn, real-world testing, and delivering value beyond what the community ha= s already built. --6a4cd7ae_335a1df1_4def Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline <html><head> <title></title> <meta name=3D=22viewport=22 content=3D=22wid= th=3Ddevice-width, initial-scale=3D1.0, user-scalable=3Dno=22> </head> <b= ody style=3D=22font-family:Helvetica;color:=23000000;font-size:13px;=22> = <div id=3D=22CanaryBody=22 dir=3D=22auto=22> <div>Heitor,<br><div><br></d= iv><div>It looks as if the only real selling point of your solution is th= at it is written in Rust.
