Thanks for the advice - but could you be more specific? What about the 
size of the drive and VSP? Also to where should the location be changed? 
I don't think you can specify the snapshot location with VSP like you 
could with OTM. Finally which server are you talking about? The client? 
That is a very busy system and rebooting is difficult. Will I keep 
seeing a backup of G:\ until it is rebooted?

thanks
Jon
