1. We don't understand what you are saying. Can you send us a Visio diagram of your environment?

2. ARC2000 cannot backup open files. You need to make a nightly backup of your databases and back that directory up. Do not backup the data and log directories. It can cause problems with SQL Server and ARC2000.

You mean there's 3-4 MB left on the disk?
Is your database in full recovery mode and you're not taking log backups? If so set it too simple.
If not what is filling up the disk.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
