In addition to Tom and Shridhar's advice, a single IDE disk is simply going to make restores slow. A 500MB data file copy on that disk, straight, would take up to 15 min. If this is for your ISV application, you need to seriously re-think your hardware strategy; spending less on processors and more on disks would be wise. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
