You said you are not on the latest version. How old is it?

Andy - Good question, I should have pointed that out. I'm mostly just worried about the virtual machines they are providing resources? Dave - I've had issues where it looks like it worked perfect, completes, and I even have it set to verify the job, but only to later find out that compressed file it made is corrupt. That has happened tons of times. It could be a version issue, I'm not on the newest version of esxranger. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
