Another thing to consider is the difficulty of moving your installation from one machine to another (probably with a different or upgraded OS, possibly with a different CPU type) without losing history, Or making duplicate copies for offsite storage. Having to deal with a separate daemon and a separately-changing data format adds complications for not-much benefit unless it also lets you scale up or gives you redundancy. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
