      Nonstop sales calls. I don't want that started again.

      They'll have real fun with me, I've got a little black book of choice replies to cold calls.

        I assume that using a fake email will work? Or just a spam account.

          Ha, the worst nightmare of these marketing products. Fake data.

              You likely have to verify the email to use it.

                @StrongBad - It was hilarious, a few guys were talking about how you can get a 5TB backup by doing exactly that at Spiceworld.

                  That's silly since they said that they were not monitoring it and they were just trusting you to only use 1TB as it is. So going through that effort and tainting their database to get more than the allotted amount doesn't seem to serve any purpose. They could just use more than 1TB anyway since it is the honour system.

                    The type of people to do this generally don't care, they were fairly vocal about it yesterday. I just find that mentality so funny, their first reaction is how to cheat the system.

                      Yeah, there is certainly a lot of that.

                        In two weeks you get a phone call: SAM, I see you are using 1.6 TB of source data on our free Unitrends package... Would you like to upgrade now?
