Hey list, I'd like a few opinions: How do you deal with laptop users and their files, especially when it comes to backups? From my point of view, there are a few options:
1. Local Files - The user's files are local onto the laptop's harddrive, and it's up to the user to backup their files manually. If this is your favorite option, please explain what you provide for user backups. 2. Ye Olde Roaming Profile - As old and ugly as this can be, it's also a sure fire way to allow the users to log in while disconnected from the domain server. 3. Offline Files - As of Vista, this is greatly improved. But I'm still hesitant to continue on this route due to silent failures, or non-silent ones that are just ignored. I'm leaning toward option 1, and I would love to hear what everybody does for backing up these users. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
