Dear James and All, thanks for the setup. Unfortunately, I am having difficulties in backing up huge files over the internet. i used regular ftp, put..and so on.

Is there any limits on the size of the files to be ftp'ied to the backup server? I was wondering if there is another way of doing this more affectively that any of you guys found. And also, if there is anybody who knows about a syncronizing software, I would be very much interested in learning about it.

The lights had been off for nearly four years now. His peers were already glancing at the figures he had running across the screen. He flipped the switch but no lights came on.
