Just keep in mind the recoverability of the volume. It can't simply be mounted by any version of windows as the files that are SIS'ed are only pointers. Additionally, I had a RIS volume I remounted in a new RIS server and it for some reason couldn't pickup the old sis database and the volume needed to be tanked and restored. I presume that would be the same for WSS and its SIS. Make sure your DR plan is solid. jlc

I'm considering turning it on and am wondering if there are any gotchas that I should know about beforehand. I'm anticipating a huge payoff in reducing the volume of stored files because of the de-dupe. Mark ------------------------------------------------- Two rules to success in life: 1.
