Cloud Connect As Only Repository

[xerexb11b]

Just wondered if anyone was using Cloud Connect as their only repository, and if there were any drawbacks or concerns.

Typically we suggest using cloud repository as secondary backup target (think backup copy job), and that's what overwhelming majority of our customers are doing.

However, certain percentage of our customers point their primary backup jobs to cloud repositories and are quite happy with this approach. The main drawback will be the restoration time, since everything will be done over WAN. Other limitations of cloud repository are mentioned here.

Thanks.
