JK> I think the only files I've "lost" were due to my own sillyness.. yeah, i've done that too... in my case, i had originally set up so that files were retained for at least a year... maybe two or three... when i finally realized that the FDN wasn't distributing files any more, it was too late and i had to go hunt down whatever i could find... that was the fernwood stuff... at that time i reconfigured for no aging off of files and i'm not sure, at the moment, about the REPLACE verb being honored... i have to look to see but a better option would be for REPLACE to trigger a move of the file being replaced to an archivial directory...
