All I want to do is to push a button and backup config files, and 
then to be able to press a button marked "restore" and have the config files 
restored  - and then see that the backup has worked.
A week ago I identified a very helpful chap employed I believe by cobalt
europe.
After some effort we eventually managed to do scheduled backups of config
files 
to the raq2 itself, and then downloading them to a remote PC. This was
fine, I 
thought we had solved the problem. Yesterday I received the dreaded message - 
the attempt to restore the config files to a standby raq2 had failed. The
problem 
had been passed to a cobalt specialist in US of A and an answer expected
today.
No message yet.

You find it hard to believe, Lew. I find it unbelievable.This is elementary
stuff 
you would have thought. I desperately need an answer to my very simple
problem.
What chance have you got.
