So, you don't have to restore the full backup and then later go and restore the incremental backup. You can do that in one go."

"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"More stable environment in a WAN infrastructure."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"There are some issues with the Backup Exec Library and the random picking of tapes."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
