Another piece of this puzzle is that a network that isn't sufficient for making remote backups probably isn't going to work for restores either. I've found that a UPS truck has a remarkable amount of bandwidth when you only need it occasionally - like shipping your initial fulls off to a location that can only manage the subsequent rsync runs. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
