no, I'm actually not. it sounds like one of those things that's simple; but somehow always ends up taking a lot longer than you expect. At least, that's my real-world experience with the process. it's noteworthy that I'm in a consulting environment, rather than being a full-time admin for one company. so going off to do something else productive while the drives are sync'ing, or a long command is running, is not always an option. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
