Subject: Need fault-tolerance recommendations for using ELOG for Server Logs 
   I would like to implement ELOG as a logbook for our Windows 2000 
servers.  After making the recommendation, my supervisor replied: 

"The problem and perhaps the only problem is what happens when the server 
is down. Electronic log books should be able to replicate from more than 
one source so you can document let’s say from your laptop – and upload to 
the server later."

   Can anyone help me out here with some scenarios to improve fault-
tolerance?  

   Perhaps installing it on multiple servers and synchronizing the data 
and config folders with the NT File Replication Service?  

   Or installing it on one server and each administrator's laptop and 
using Offline Files to synchronize the data?

Any feedback would be appreciated,

Shawn Larson
