Hi, I'm new to this group so this topic might be discussed here
earlier. If so, I would appreaciate if someone could be able to point
me to the relevant information.
Anyway, my problem briefly: What is the best way to store your old
mails, projects and other data? I know that I can export data, drag
mailfolders to the desktop and use the Backup button in Project Centre
main view. Or I can periodically make a backup of my whole MUD folder.
All this is fine and well, but my problem is actually accessing the
archived data *later*. With .rge files it is quite cumbersome to first
import it and then later delete old stuff just in order to retrieve one
mail, for example. Also, the amount of data, especially mails, is huge
so it is very time consuming process. And if I make smaller .rge files,
I might have to import many of them before I can find the one mail I'm
looking for.
Everything works fine as long as I keep the data in 'Folders on My
Computer', but when I eventually need to remove older stuff in order to
get the database smaller, I don't know what would be the best way to do
this and still retain the possibility to have (at least reasonably)
quick access to the old data, too.
So, how are you people doing your backup/archiving? And more
importantly to me: how do you access your archived data? Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
