how good are your backups :)

I've had it working as advertised on several R&D systems, seems to  
behave under load well etc.  There is a bit of hand tuning you'll want  
to do but I've had a good experience with it so far and there may be  
some corner cases you may run into as well.  So i'd hold off using it  
for mission critical data were any downtime is going to get you fired.
