Shawn, thanks for a response. We have the "webuser" for the web interface
logged in from the same machine as the Filemaker server, can we still use
the back-up utility without trouble? Or will we have to have the "web user"
logged in from another seperate machine to prevent any trouble?

Thanks!

Ken
