By "Backup" I mean the typical type of backup - one snapshot of the data at the weekend and some incremental backups every day. i don't think this is posible with backup volumes - so i thought about volume dumps. i don't want to have all the volumes in our headquarter. so every time a user openes his word-doc or similar it would be completly transfered over our VPN - and I can hear the people crying "our fileservers are too slow !" so seperate fileservers in every district would be a good choice, I think - would'nt they ? i thought about every district his own fileserver with the special volume for them and a readonly volume in our headquarter released every night - so i could do the volume dump - i'm not very trusted with the "backup" command yet. but I don't know how I could set up the "shared" part where every user in every district can read/write to it. so if you tell me which information you need to know I can provide :-)) Christopher D.
