I need to put the repository on a share that is backuped.
I cannot install CVS on the remote server. Therefore I
need to use a network share for the repository.

What are the problems using CVS on a network share,
apart from the one being mentioned above, which can be worked
around?

Thanx in advance,

  Guenther
