From what I've read, that means the volumes will not be recycled. But will they still be considered as the base from which an inc/diff backup can be built? As they are to be sent to another continent for safe keeping (I know...) I can't depend on them for restoration. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gaining the trust of online customers is vital for the success of any company that requires sensitive data to be transmitted over the Web.
