I need to put the repository on a drive that is backed up.
I cannot install CVS on the remote server who's drives
are backed up. 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? Would you recommend against using this setup in production
for team src code management?

Thanx in advance,
