Now I'm more confused. We have 3 new SANs with replication for DR. I don't see how this helps me with point in time restores for a database. I would "like to have" snapshot backups because I'm lazy. I can get a full system back without any work - installing SQL Server. But I also need to have point in time restores. It seems like we have to walk a tight rope to have operations and DBA both meet their SLAs.
