>Hey Evan.

Hi Vin.

>Is this for the webserver piece, the appserver, the database server, or some combination?
>That will impact many of my answers. But a few general notes in-line that will apply in any case....

The server will house everything. The ASPX pages, the COM components and the VFP tables.


>I find PC Anywhere ok but slow. There are other options if you expect to do a lot of remote support...

What are some other options?

>>- are tape drives and tapes still the best way to go?
>I've switched to CDs instead of tapes. I never had much trouble with tape backups. But restores from tape seemed to be a headache 50% of the time.

Are the backups automated to CD? Do you use CD-Rs or CD-RWs? Which backup software do you use? Does it require that the app releases its grip on your VFP tables?
