While users can usually archive data across their network, running
the program on their local workstation on the data folder located on the server,
this involves pushing and pulling massive amounts of data over your local
network, in thousands of operations and processes. This tends to require much more time to
process since pushing and pulling that data over the network is inherently
slow. Sometimes networks fail to make a connection reliably, and this can cause
the archiving process to fail.
There are two ways to get around these potential problems:
- Perform the archiving process from the server’s desktop, rather than a workstation. This eliminates entirely the network’s effect on the process, or
- Copy the company data folder to your workstation’s C:\MB7 folder. Perform the archiving process on the copy of the company residing on your C: drive, and then copy the two resulting data folders – the cleaned up current company data folder and the new archive folder—back to the server.
