Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."

"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
