Maybe, maybe not. A fresh install will create JPs for the C:/Users/Default, but it won't do it for any other users. It probably depends on how you restore the profiles of those users. > Btw, I was under the impression Bacula couldn't restore junction points > correctly?

I've heard conflicting claims about this, so I don't know if it can or not. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
