Cliff, Why don't you throw another hard drive in and run off of another pre-installed IDE channel? Obviously, if you're already using all your channels, this wouldn't work, but it's probably the cheapest method since people normally pay mucho $$$ for bandwidth. A second server is usually too much $$$ unless you already have a second need for another server. Using CVSup to another server, however, could be the answer that you're looking for assuming you have your own network and aren't shelling out mega bucks for a second server. CVSup updates only files needing to be updated (i.e., the newer files only),...if you want, thus saving bandwidth. Hope this helps!
