As others have said, if you have the money for it, having a dedicated server is more robust and faster. The only thing I'd add, though: having FileMaker Server doesn't automatically give you backup security. You still have to design your backup strategy around the notion that files may get corrupted, and having a months' worth of corrupted backups is just as useless as having a corrupted working file. Server v11 has decent inbuilt tools to veryify database (and backup) integrity. -- Tim Mansour <[email protected]> Neologica Print & Promotions ABN 63 904 335 408 Certified FileMaker 10 Developer PO Box K1163 : Haymarket NSW 1240 Mobile 0405 500 846 : Melbourne in-dial 03 9012 7441
