And where is the journalled information stored prior to being committed? Another question is, is the customer requiring a DOD level of deletion or is a standard rm sufficient? Realizing that with significant effort that some of the data may be recoverable? I suspect that if you make a best effort at deleting all project files and disposing of any backups of these files they are not going to be concerned with the possible use of forensic recover techniques to get portions of those files back. -- Scot L.
