I plan to put the Central file on the file server, in the project folder. This is good because it gets backed up to tape, and Volume Shadow Copy gives me two iteration backups a day. However, where should the "Local" copies go?
I could put them in C:\Revit on each user's machine, and get the speed of a local non-raid drive, but I also loose the backup and revisions.
Or I could put the local copy in My Documents/Revit, and since My Documents is Redirected to the server, I get the backup functionality, but not the speed increase.
And lastly, I could put it in My Documents and Offline that, so that I am working on a truely local copy, which is then automatically synced to the server on a schedule, and that location is subject to backup and volume shadow copy.

So, I am curious what others are doing? Is the speed of a local copy enough to warrent either loosing the backup or going to offline files?

Thanks,
Gordon
