[BBLISA] dump or Legato Networker?

I'm currently using dump for backups and am happy with it.  Haven't tried 
to restore yet, but a long-time colleague/admin swears by dump/restore - 
and the tools are free, come with linux distros,and have community 
support.

Legato Networker costs a lot, and is commercial.

What arguement(s) can be made of/for Legato vs dump?

I am aware that Legato can be used to help integrate with databases, 
Exchange, etc with special addons.  But for general filesystem 
preservation... dump or Legato.   Let's put money aside for now and just 
consider overall integrity of files and filesystems.

Thanks.

Scott
