Did you let 4D decide where to place these files or did you control them.
Could you not in either case add a folder for 4D to include in backups.
I have one customer where there are more than 500,000 pictures and drawings
stored in data file. It would be great to store them outside, but for
security reasons (outside access) and moving files between different
locations make this impossible
Right now we have two copies of data file running on two different servers
and data gets moved between when changes are made. We also have another 5
servers as well as many single user versions.
