Hello Andrew and Jason, Again thanks for sharing your experience on this.
I like the idea of using unmanaged data sets but I'm not sure if this will slow down MapGuide. According to the web log at http://zacster.blogspot.com/2008/10/mapguide-performance-tips.html #3 Always use Managed Resources, that is SDF's uploaded into the repository. If you haven't seen any changes in MapGuide performance between unmanaged and manage SDF/SHP files, then yes, I would like to run with your advice and use unmanaged data sets. Thanks again, Jeff Jensen JasonBirch wrote: > > My personal recommendation is to back up the entire repository.
