I know the root password.
Not sure about data size - almost a complete newb with unix, except for some troubleshooting commands in OSX (FreeBSD) DIR? Get Info?
Tools and hardware replacement is second nature.

And I get to EdgeMenu and EdgeReports how?
Login as Root
Open BackupEdge (can it do the update automatically?)
I downloaded the 01.02.04 update in .exe format that is supposed to create two appropriate disks for the Unix Server (in process now)
Is there a good guide for BackupEdge for the clueless?
Thank you for your response and time.

OH, by the way... Would you go with DVD-RW or harddrive (160Gb or 320Gb)???
I have a thing about tape drives, unless you buy two at install time so you have a backup.
Thanx
AND AGAIN
Do you do a Bootable DiskImage of the drive in case of drive failure? A one time deal unless updates are added...
AND an incremental backup of the databases for restoration?
Sorry for questions, I understand. I have answered Mac questions for nine years at allexperts, here.
