[ILUG] Backup Solutions for Low performance devices

[Walter Faleiro]

Hi Niall,
Block level incremental software backups work fine as the data gets
populated. What I meant to say was the disk array already had the space
consumed and it was not adding to the space in increments.
Thanks for the suggestion of zmanda, we will evaluate if there is a trial
period.

Regards,
--Walter
