It seems silly to post about it here but the moderator insisted that I do so, which he enforced by closing the comments section of the thread. This is despite the fact that on-hold questions specifically tell you to "leave a comment".
Anyway, see my discussion in the comments reproduced below--
It seems obvious that as per the site rules, the question should be open. It's an enterprise virtualization product according to Oracle. I'm asking a question about backups. Both things are explicitly stated as OK according to the rules. It's doubtful I'll be posting any more questions on this site. Why take the time to formulate a question if it's not clear whether it will be left open?
