Hi Amar, We have about 140GB of mail data, and it takes a LONG LONG time to copy it over, we want to start an AFR brick with this data, we were thinking about doing it by writing a script that manually sets the version and create date attributes on the existing data, and then, just adding the second server in. Has anyone else done this? Joey -- -Joey C) 803-409-9969 W) 757-233-0834
