Search Again: Re: multi-user From: Novagate Systems Admin Date: Thursday, February 4, 1999 Time: 4:11:51 pm Here's a plug to get a G3 with Filemaker Pro Server. We switched from NT about two weeks ago. NT always had problems, not enough memory, security holes, all the usual stuff we know and love :-P We put in the new G3/400 (128mb/9gig) with Filemaker Pro Server and ever since we installed it we have not had to do anything (except for the upgrade to 1.8.1). It is really a significant and enjoyable change from the flakiness and resource appetite of NT. Not to mention a similarly capable and configured NT machine costs almost twice as much as the G3 machine (heh, NT Server license alone... ) Anyway, IMHO, if you're looking for the best server/software combo, go with a G3 and Filemaker Pro Server. I believe Shawn bought 4 G3 servers ;-) -Dave Munroe Novagate On Thu, 4 Feb 1999, Shawn Hogan wrote: > Avi Freedman wrote: > > >cool > >the !data corruption is what I want > >how do you setup the auto-backup properly? > > {cracking up} Well, it will only mess it up (and *usually* can be fixed > if it does) if the database is being written to at the time it was being > backed up. > > The *ideal* backup solution is FileMaker Pro Server... > > It runs as a service of NT, allows up to 100 clients, is 3-6 times > faster, automated backups without booting clients, etc. And if you have > a competitive upgrade (like SQL server or something), it runs like $250 > or something.
