Hi, before worrying about importing historical data, I would try to find out how long Analytics actually keeps historical data. I've seen the figure of 2 years back mentioned in the past but this might have changed. A quick search in their Help didn't bring up anything relevant, those who care must dig deeper. In my particular case, I can see 5 years back, which approximately corresponds to when we started collecting the data. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/analytics/_ImSLr_YuI0 Another type of consideration for large instances is limit for hits/day: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1070983?hl=en Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
