We're running it on 5 servers with no problems at all, occassionaly
we'll have a password problem but that is easily        fixed. The system
disk you want a standalone backup anyways. and the incrementals each night
would just      supplement whatever may have changed since.

        what does he do to get it fixed? what stops any ideas?

        hope this helps

        Paul
