Our primary concern is reliablity and up time. Of course cost is an issue. [snip] We use HP's TurboStore/XLII Online. It's been extremely reliable, but does require an "attachment" phase of roughly 5 minutes when users have to be out of the databases. We launch these early in the morning, before users arrive, so this isn't a problem for us. However, I would recommend taking a look at Orbit's "no downtime" backup solution if uptime is a major consideration. Gary Dietz Whitman College
