<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wouldn't mind confirmation of this. When we were
researching backup options we decided to buy hardware to backup our two Unity
servers (7855s) and were told we could simply plug in the harddrives
and it would work. We tested this and it did, but I don't think we did any sort
of time trial.</FONT></DIV>

Question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>What version of Unity? Unity 4.x has license tied to<BR>MAC
file. Maybe the other machine was not plugged in<BR>and at one time someone
programmed the NIC to have<BR>same MAC as other machine perhaps? <BR><BR>I
think unity will run for a few hours also (or<BR>perhaps days) before it stops
due to licensing issues.<BR><BR>--- "Burton, Jason" <<A
