Pak,

Easiest is to do tape backup/restore.  You need a SCSI tape drive and
SCSI port on your AW and WPs.  There is a proceedure in the Foxboro
manuals for doing the tape backup and restore.

There are lots of other possibilities, including Ghost, however most
other backup/restore procedures are more complicated.

We're currently trialing BackupPC for backing up our AWs, WPs, PI
servers and APC computers over the network.  So far looks good.
