That would have included me, but since I am now a disgruntled end-user rather than an overly-confident consultant...well, not. ;o) >>The problem that I see now is, that we have only one library.

I've done a couple of customers in just the same boat you're in, with the added complication that the single library they had was at capacity. They finally decided to create export tapes of their two or three critical servers, and then threw away their entire backup library and started over. If your library has room, you can set up the new server as a library server, and the old library as a library client. That removes the necessity of physical connections for both servers. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
