As was described by the user, FDR is production - HSM is test. They have procedures in place to restore from FDR. If they have a disk crash and they want to restore, their procedures will be to restore from FDR. It seems an excessive complication to have to change their procedures to ALSO vault and restore from HSM tapes when they are merely testing the product. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
