[BBLISA] Amanda vs legato?

[Dean Anderson]

Legato is the best worst thing going.  It can be wrestled to the ground.  
Its pricey. But it has some neat features. Everything sucks, though. I
keep thinking about writing a backup system. It is indeed a hard job to
do right.

Jacob at Cambridge Computer used to be the local reseller.
