No. &nbsp;SQL is the same machine. &nbsp;I'm not sure what the admin ended up going but he used my SQL db backups instead of the Sharepoint sciprts for those didn't run the full correctly due to the SAN issues. &nbsp;Since the full failed the diffs afterwards where no good. &nbsp;Luckily we had SQL backups. With Sharepoint 2010 the SQL DBs can't be backed many of the times due to the long file names.. So, the SharePoint script is your only option it seems.. Luckily this was 2007.
