"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."

"The initial setup was complex."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
