Sure. Unless you have some crazy large amount of storage, you'd want to clean out snapshots periodically. Though I like the idea of having a remote server w/ a crazy large amount of storage where long-term snapshots are kept around for DR, and the source can just have the last 2 weeks or whatever for users to handle their own restores. :) -- Theo Van Dinter Systems Administrator: bblisa.org, kluge.net, google.com, etc.
