alt Hacker NewsA friend of mine used to work at Veritas[0] making enterprise data retention solutions. When I spoke about their product as being "making backups", he corrected me by saying:
We are not in the backup business. We are in the restoration
business.

Backups are boring. Restores, on the other hand, are often exciting.

Correct. In data protection, backup is not the feature. Restore is the feature.
"This is the business we've chosen."
