Nothing automatic. I'm looking into BackupPC as a possibility. I only back up some critical files from a few desktops in an accounting department that serves two companies; for company reasons we can't store data from these desktops on either server since the accounting is separate. For laptops, depending on the use, either I have moved "My Docs" to the server (if the laptop never runs off the network) or enabled manual synching of "My Docs" between the laptop and user's home directory on the server. -- Angus Scott-Fleming http://www.geoapps.com/ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
