No, we haven't tried it on servers. -Original Message- From: Wholey, Joseph (IDS DMDS) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Remote clients transferring GBs over WAN Wanda, Do you have that implemented on file servers as well?

Re: Remote clients transferring GBs over WAN
Hi First of all, minimizing the amount of data that is necessary to transfer is one way to go. To do this, enable subfile backup. Second, if you do not want backups to run at all, blocking the ports within the FW is the best way to go.
