Re: benchmark

Denis,

This is quite an impressive research article. In practical terms it is 
very useful to anyone who has to make a decision (or advise on) 
selecting a tool (or even more - philosophy) for data backup. Since I 
was sold on dar long ago I did not need that much support to get 
convinced in my choice - I was skimming over the article nodding all the 
way, and ultimately jumped straight to conclusion.

I think it is very hard to apply anything close to quantitative 
comparison to tools (techniques) having lots of unmatched 
functionalities. So comparing matching functionalities might not reveal 
all important details. Reading the documentation and (more importantly) 
realizing the goals of backup and applying the tools to satisfy the 
goals is still an important part in decision making. But even in this 
process such research can save time looking for answer for specific 
questions that might arise along the way.

Happy new year to you, best wishes of all the best!

And thanks for all your effort creating this wonderful tool!

Vladimir
