James-

Thanx for the info, it came in Handy..

Now for my next question.. I want to create a backup 7.1.3 server in my 
environment.  Can I install 7.1.3 on my backup server, restore the backup using 
nvhotbackup which I currently do twice a day for the primary 7.1.3 server, then 
do a reset_ci for the new server? 

Thanx.
