Re: Problem in refresh

That post was a bit terse, my apologies.

I was just firing off a quick reply before I had to check out of my hotel and head to the airport.

There is a problem in your backup procedures. Having files with the same name in different paths should not normally be.problem.

Your backup procedures need to be reviewed, or the problem will occur.
