If you are looking for a fallback machine, this is what the hot site backup was designed to do. I don't think it available yet, but it's pretty close. From my understanding, the fallback machine would have a read-only copy of the database, and be brought up to date by transferring the logs, and applying them, much like in a recovery situation. Other than some security breaches, it sounds like a good idea. > > > -- Naomi Walker (aka N7FSA) | naomi@anasazi.com | Phoenix, Arizona ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It's almost impossible to overestimate the unimportance of most things.
