This video does not speak to the many many issue introduced with file stub technology. Stubbing can introduce backup latency as larger files are replaced by smaller pointers causing extended file system enumeration. Also, what happens when a file system, cluttered by stubbs, fills up or how about explaining what happens when a file system (nearly at capacity) needs to have original files restored? It's a train-wreck.
Additionally, clients DO NOT need to be reconfigured when using hardware based file virtualization devices. These devices assume the name of the storage device which allows the clients to continue to connect as they did prior to cut-in.
