And my baseball bat, of course. :o| -- Bye now, Obnoxio "It's easier with pictures." -- Cosmo "But wait, it gets worse." -- Cosmo "Run, don't walk, for the nearest exit." -- Cosmo

You can block the server then take copies of the appropriate files or raw partitions and then unblock the servers. You can then take the copies of the servers and start them up on a test server configured exactly like the production server. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ids9help/index.jsp Type in external backup in the search block for details.
