My work as the Lead IT Spec for the EL Paso,Tx VA rquires
that I do and test/try a lot of way of protecting
documents and ways get workstation back online fast. I
have a home network that I test id on how to do things
this is just one of them. What put this in motion was my
home workstation upgrade to xp pro went bad and I had no
backup, of the workstation (bad for me as a tech), this
single event put me on a path to fine out how to remotely
backup all workstation on my home network. As of today I
have 2-w2k3 server, 1-unix servers and 7-workstation
ranging from xp pro, home, 98, and ME as a home test bed.
Thanks for the input and any other information you can
provide.
