Is this usual practice? This is only a small 4 client set-up. Another physical server would surely be overkill. How would you set this up? I tried to test a restore, possibly dumping the files into another directory but the option 'restore to original location' was greyed out without any further drop down options. When I pressed restore, I was offered to restore to the server, which I wasn't going to risk. I know I'm sounding like a complete moron, but this is how it is! It does look successful. The true proof is whether you can restore it.
