Ok, I guess I'll have to put it locally then and use som form of backup to
the mapped drive. It was the backup part I was hoping to get around. (Note
that I'm using the repository or my own stuff only and I want to be able to
wipe my disk without worrying about my repository, but then again... I can
achieve this with backup)
Thanks for all your help!
