Have seen this where too many documents were in the folder. None could be found but they were all there. Speed of retrieval. As more files are in the document folder, thousands not 100, it takes longer to fetch them in a read and longer to write back. Backing up of all is another issue. If restore from one data system is not in sync with the backup of the file system. Have experienced all of these before. Document store was approx 1 TB on a SAN. Those were Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAJidMYLG+2E1GD04O9AZT1O-DUvEhSLeCDm=hb_ipshe_fc...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
