All,

    Thanks for all of the input.  Here is a summary of what
was said:

    There are several people doing backups of remote sites
across a WAN.  Most have commented that they have been
successful.  The consensus seems to be that success depends
on the exact situation.  Everyone reccomends using client
compression.  "It doen't hurt to try it."


    We will be trying our first site this weekend.  If anyone
whats to know how it went, email me OTL next week.

Thanks Again,
