Nor would I, although we did run into a bug with a combination of a Dell PowerVault and LVM which caused the volumes to stop responding whenever we created more than a single snapshot. We never did find a solution other than just making one snapshot. Still, it's been solid every other time I've used it and I wouldn't hesitate again. What are the features of Veritas that he likes? I've never used it before so have no idea if LVM would be a comparable replacement.
