Druva's No Hardware Required W. Curtis Preston (Mr. Backup)

Druva's tagline is "Don't worry about your backups. Ever." Since Stephen Manley, our CTO, and W. Curtis Preston, Mr. Backup, have decades of experience with non-Druva backup environments, we asked them to talk about what averages non-Druva backup administrators. Stephen talks about things from his experience on the vendor side, and Curtis talks about trying to make backup systems run in the wild. It's a fun episode that reminds you of all things you don't have to worry about as a Druva customer.
