Heh heh-try walking one of MY end users through dealing with tapes
and such... It gives me a raging headache just thinking about it... ;-)
Since they're about 400 miles away, having full remote access
through VPN is *much* nicer(got TB2 on 'em as well, which rocks). As I
said, by backing up *only* documents, we keep the bandwidth within an
acceptable level for nighttime use. As for the OS, if the unit completely
dies we'll just fedex a clean one to 'em-after restoring their files from
the local backup set... As a result, I too never do a full backup over
the DSL-which I concede would be akin to madness...
Peace,
