Thanks for your answer. It leads me to another question, however...
if I have to reinstall the DLO agent on all the client machines, will they have to do the initial push to the network storage location again, or is there some way to preseve this as long as the sql instance on the server remains intact?
I don't think some of my users would be too happy about having to push their 40+ gigs of data to the server all over again.
