Hi Justin, I've gotten this to work, but only with very small replicated folders. I have the same issue as you with large replicated folders and have yet to find a solution.
Thanks, Marc -----Original Message----- Hi Judy, Yes, I am aware of that, this is a brand new host and the start/stop scripts were not installed on it (nor the registry hack). If anyone has backed up a 6.5.4 w/DFSR I would be interested to hear how it was done, thanks. Justin.
