However, at least in the past, one reason to stay -3 was our DR provider had that as their standard size. If we wanted larger volumes, we had to pay extra and wait for them to reconfigure to/from the "non standard" size. This time to reconfigure comes out of our testing time, which is too short to begin with. Our DR department (sorry BCE department) is so cheap that it won't even subscribe to the actual number of volumes we really need, even for a test, because the vendor, so far, has allowed us extra and says they will supply more in the case of an actually disaster. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
