Does anyone know of a utility similar to MS' Volume Shadow Service that runs on Unix for taking snapshots of files / folders?

If i install a VPN capable firewall, and close off all ports other than the VPN port, can i get away without running antivirus on my computer? How big is the threat of infection / system compromise?

If ISA is configured to sit between a DMZ (on the 192.168.x.x range) and our LAN (10.1.x.x) range, can ISA be configured so that any FTP requests made from the LAN are forwarded onto the FTP server in the DMZ?

There are a couple of things i don't understand though. The scheduled job uses ntbackup from the command line, using the SNAP:off option so it should NOT use VSS. Also, why is VSS starting over 2 hours prior to the scheduled job starts? I have discovered though, if i start the ntbackup program...

I am having a strange problem with unattended backups from a command line in NTBackup. I have scheduled my backups to run at 3:30am, but they keep "failing". Although there are no errors logged, the backup report generated by NTBackup is blank, and the scheduled task exits with a status code of...

I have managed to get to the bottom of the problem myself. Thought i'd post the solution: I tried right clicking and deleting the rule. Although this "works", it gives me the "Apply / Discard" prompt. If i click "Apply", the fatal error comes up. However, if i leave this message on screen, ISA...

Occasionally, some of our Dell SC440's do not reboot following an init 6. The last message on screen is "The system is down", but it does not receive the Automatic Boot Procedure call. SCO have confirmed that the reboot call is a standard BIOS instruction and is no longer anything to do with...

Somehow our ISA 2004 Server has got borked. There is a particular rule, that when you try to click the "Networks" tab, a "Fatal Error" is displayed. ISA itself is working ok, but if we try to make any changes and apply them, the same "Fatal Error" occurs (that includes trying to delete this...

I have configured ISA 2004 with a Web publishing rule for Microsoft's CRM Mobile, but i am having problems accessing it form the internet (LAN access works fine) Occasionally, browsing to the site gives either an error 403 or 500. THen refreshing a couple of times brings up a dialog. I can then...

Thanks for the response. There is a reason why i didn't ask Microsoft themselves in the first instance, but i'll bear that mind next time. Again, Many thanks

I am setting up a Disaster Recovery environment for our Exchange 2003 server that, when up and running, will provide OWA access to peoples e-mail on a backup server. Although only OWA will be used to access e-mail, will each user still need a Windows Server CAL as well as an Exchange CAL...

Got to the bottom of this. Although it was a separate analogue line, it was being routed through our "speed diallers" and the circuit was only being made when a telephone call was made. The ADSL signal was not enough to close the loop. In the end we had to change the dip switches on the...

Does anyone know how i can write a script to set the printer driver options so the paper is set to A4 and use mm rather than inches? Regards
