What problems is OpenText Data Protector solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do not use it the way it's supposed. It's kind of like a back stop. For example, if an engineer accidentally deletes something, he raises a ticket and with a request to get his file back. Normally, the backup routines are more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
