RE: Backup Over Internet
Thanks Craig. I never thought of that or new you could do that. The customer does have a fixed IP address. -Jeff I have a customer who is running Windows 2000 and is on DSL. I have access to his computer with Timbuktu Pro. I would like to backup files from his computer to my server (Mac). I also have a PC on my network running Windows 2000. Is there a way to mount his drive or files using my PC then have Retrospect backup specifice files from the mounted drive on my PC. I currently backup file from my PC to my Mac server using the client software. I think the best way to do this would be to put a Retrospect Client on your customer's PC then just back it up directly. You'll want to make sure the customer has a fixed IP address. If the customer doesn't have a fixed IP address and you do, you can still back up the computer (but you'll need to be more creative). You'll have to put Retrospect on your customer's PC and then a client on your PC. Then, you can use Retrospect's duplicate feature to copy the data from the source PC to a folder (or another disk) on your PC and then back up your PC as you normally would.

Re: Backup Over Internet
I guess you could use something like dyndns.org if you had a dynamic IP anyway. That way you use a domain name instead of the ip. michael I have a customer who is running Windows 2000 and is on DSL.
