Tough or impossible to answer, IMHO. What constitutes a failure? If you can understand the answers to that question, you may be able to answer your own question. Is a single file failure, a failure? Is a missed schedule a failure? Is having a scheduled backup for a file space start and complete on different days a failure? Is having a backed up file space not backed up for n days a failure? Is failing to move all data n hours (days) old offsite a failure? Is backing up 10-20G per night, every night, from a desktop a failure? Is a failure related to an enterprise-critical server more of a failure than a failure on a "non-critical" desktop? Are all failures client failures, or are there server failures? Is wanting to restore a file copy that is not on the backup server a failure? Is keeping a tape pool at 95% instead of 60% reclamation level a failure? cheers, wayne Wayne T.
