I used to do VPN rsync's of the compressed pseudo floppy saves until the-

portion of the process. I had to set a floppy volume size several months ago
because our database grew larger than 2GB compressed. Now I do a usb drive
copy/dump to the same machine at my house. If Visage.DRS won't consume large
quantities of bandwidth doing updates, then I would consider it for an
offsite switch-over.

Glen,
How MUCH bandwidth is required is a function of HOW MUCH data changes,
but be warned, if you change 1 byte in a 3K record, we are going to
send the whole 3K record over the line! If you do something like a
CLEAR-FILE DATA WORK.FILE, then that command is performed at the
remote end BUT, if the file contained 1,000,000 records which you
selected & then did a DELETE WORK.FILE, the you will be splurting a
few MB of keys down the line (and befoire anyone asks, "NO, we don't
change any verb definitions!")
The data is transmitted pretty well as soon as the change takes place,
though obviously things can back-up if you are changing LOT's of data,
and have a relatively low speed connection (when compared to the
volume of data being sent)
