Hello and thanks all who help as being in the computer field I appreciate where I can find incite and am\answers. Let me say I have a new Dell sc440 2003 Server which will host some apps and store some data but not much else. I have Symantec Endpoint Security and Backup Exec 11. I think I have the initial install going and The console shows me steps but getting past step one Im not sure where to go. I made a backup folder as a destination for continuous backup but was wondering how I see or use the RD100 tape backup. I formatted the 3 40GB disks I have currently and the Server sees the drive E fine. The terminology and just the newness of it has me lost as I don't want to mess this up as my first server setup endevour. Any tips and suggestions on where to save how to save prgram oddities and such I wan tto figure out what I need to do and repeat it so I can help the customer when they want. Sounds lke ths Symantec product is quite nice and just does what it nees to do with some simple config but id sure I could use all the help. Please advise me where to read up or suesstions or hurdels I wl be back with some answrs and more questions im sure. thanks
