KevinThanks for your response! Were your recent posts on this (ADSM) site? Also, Is there a link were I could take a look at your PMRs? I do have a ID for the IBM site already. I have noticed that there is a Novell Client 5.5.0.1. I will probably be installing that one first on one server

What kind of data is it? If mostly static files, we like to use rdist (robocopy on windows). Run it every so often, then a final run at cutover. You can multiple parallel cmds if need be. If a database you can use a backup/restore with rollinig logs (at least for oracle). We have moved Multi
