    That’s what I meant, for commercial use, sure. But not for private, ever.

      I have a pet peeve when people are dismissive about things that are “only” for commercial use. Commercial is a huge market, especially when it comes to IT things. Almost every company on Earth can benefit from better backup solutions. You may not see them personally, but they help run the things that you use all the time.

        And commercial stuff makes it’s way down to consumers all the time.

        As an enterprise geek, I watch what we do trickle down to SMB every year… And then to consumers. Many consumers have similar tech capabilities as many SMB’s. Just look around here, how many of us run segmented networks, with traffic filtering, numerous test devices and virtualization?
