Further to my query, I have not mentioned archive as this is not a function that we regularly use, but would this be a good candidate for retiring clients, and can you archive a whole drive ie D: thanks, John

I have consideredf various approaches 1) Export 2) Backup set 3) Create a new domain for retired clients which have the long term retention requirement I see export and backup sets as reducing database overhead, but being less easy to track and rather unfriendly if you just need to get a subset of the data back The new domain would retain great visibilty for the data and allow easy access to subsets of the data, but you would stiil have the database overhead. Does the choice just depend, on how often in reality you will need to get the data back ? Thoughts appreciated John </p> ********************************************************************** </p> The information in this E-Mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.
