Houston we have a problem

In getting ready for the upgrade to CS 2008 I was trying to make some special backups... that wouldn't work.  Well in digging into the matter more, that' service that is missing some files which is causing the peer to peer backups between Brianna and Yoda to fail.. isn't a real service at all.

We have backups so first thing tomorrow morning I'll be calling PSS Security to, more than anything else find out the "how" this happened.

Bottom line we got a critter on the box and I didn't (intentially anyway) put it there.

And to check to see if Yoda should be quarantened (aka web server turned off)  to protect web visitors as well.  So if the blog goes off the air a bit we're just doing it to better protect viewers.
