"No dedicated system administration, so the system must be EXTREMELY user friendly, fault tolerant, and easy to use and to automate backups. Recovery should be possible for the average U.S. user, who only has 7th grade literacy and reasoning skills. Support should be immediately available to users, and included in the cost of the unit. Failure to successfully respond to support requests within one hour should entitle the buyer to a complete refund, and/or initiate liability claims to recover financial losses resulting from backup or recovery failures that are not a result from hardware failures at buyer's location."
-- Consultant, Retail, Concord, MA
