Hi John,

OK, but I have a 50G subscription and last time I looked, I only had about
8G of files backed up to the server, so unless something else has gone
wrong, the recovery process shouldn't go over the quota limit should it ?
What should be done with all the out-of-sync stuff lying around on the three
affected machines ?

Thanks for looking into this,

Alex
