Backing up large files
April 6th, 2009
I mentioned the other week that I would go into more detail regarding backing up, so here goes.
We had a scenario lately where a single FileMaker 9 file was around 1.2Gb and initially it was taking around four minutes to back up, which admittedly is quicker than a FileMaker 6 file. The problem was that we wanted to back the file up every hour and, of course, the users weren’t happy to wait for four minutes every hour throughout the day.
