Please log in for more thread options I'm not quite sure what you mean by "properly"... we're not real
experts on Windows network management. Where can I find more info on
replication configuration for the windows network?
We've setup the network ourselves by the lack of a real expert for
this in this project.
Things seem to be working fine now. We have automatic backups running
every day, late at night, so if we need should be covered from any
major disaster :)
Thanks for all the help!
