And if you have a decent recovery setup, then you simply switch to a remote backup machine, which allows as much time as you like for repairs! Taking users offline for a period of time is simply not practical in a lot of cases, so we need to be able to manage how things are handled during any maintenance cycle. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
