That is because HP expects you to backup VMS to an HP product such as
Windows. :-)

For truly paranoid people who really really need redundancy, you might
want to have your backup system on a separate maintenance contract. Say
there is a paperwork safu and some drone in india who screen support
calls sess that your contract has expired and that your mission critical
system that is down cannot be fixed, at least you know that the backup
system, being on a separate contract, would be suppported.
