Yes, I am aware of everything you are saying. I was refering to "backups". I will try to make myself a little more clear. If the file no longer exists on the client then it won't allow you to bind it to a new management class. The file has to exist on the client to rebind it to another management class. The question I have is... Is there a way to associate a file that has no active version to another management class?
