Sure that this is not something that you want to hear ....... but we have started buying a second tape drive and connecting it to the WP so that we don't have to backup through the Nodebus. What I would like to do is bypass the tape drive and backup to one of our company wan servers! Troy L.

Be careful this doesn't overload the NodeBus. It's not always a recommended procedure. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Baptiste, Nigel" <NBaptiste@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 5:18 PM Subject: [foxboro] 51 series remote backups Hello List, Here's an easy one (I suspect!). How do I do remote backups (WP's especially) over the nodebus. The external tape drive is connected to the AW and at present I've been = moving it to each of the other WP's (which is difficult as the equipment = panel does not have rear doors) in order to do the backups. I have read some of the documentation but would appreciate a = step-by-step.
