Would that more admins put as much work into planning! Long-term file preservation can be difficult to plan. The best approach is to go to the customer and ask what the bottom line is--what is it exactly that he/she wants, rather than passively accepting customer-dictated methodology. "I want a full backup of my machine once a week" doesn't necessarily mean "Run a selective backup of my machine once a week". -- Mark Stapleton
