From how I believe he is opperating DT's I don't see him getting much out of it.
Keith - our 'Client Files', is no longer what it was. Pretty much, I am now maintaining 3 locations of data. My "local projects" (holds projects until I sync it with the project on), the "server's projects" (a separate location on the server which bizman points to), and "client files" (holds basicaly programming files, engineering docs and pictures). I though about storing the "client files" in the same location as the "server's projects", however, all the extra directories and files dramatically slows down everything. The local and server projects folders are for the most part, maintenance free, so there isnt much to interact with them except when I need to backup a project in a particular time in the job. Read the details that D-Tools provides for you on the website. Just know, the more jobs you build up, the harder it will be to make the transition like I am doing right now.

I have a similar arrangement now that I am running SI4. I use "construction office" to create and organize documents and keep non-d-tools files on a server. I store all of the d-tools projects separately on the server. I don't use business manager so there is need for me to sync...
My primary server backs up to a secondary server so I am covered pretty good. Good thing too because the power supply in my primary server took out all my raided hard drives recently, so I was very happy that I was able to keep the business going on the backup server while I replaced some hardware on the primary.
This is a lesson for everyone. My primary server is top of the line kick ass etc..but shit happens. Backup server was a raided P3 piece of crappo, but it saved my ass.
Just because you have a raid array it does not mean that your data is safe.
