In reading their web page and the pdf's they have, there was no mention of being certified by anything, except that there was a hint that it was MicroSoft Back Office compliant/compatable/etc... Like I said, I'd be leary of this one. Looks like it's trying to do an RMAN, but without Oracle's knowledge. Disaster waiting to happen???
