Jerry: It's a licensed UD Server version w/40 licenses. It's moving into low production mode at the moment until we resolve all of the "wrinkles" associated with a conversion.
It doesn't have a lot of files in each account but new ASP accounts have little data and older ones have a fair amount of data. The files are reasonably sized and there's nothing, that I know of, that's unusual about them. On a development server, basically the same amount of data is backed up by NTBackup in five minutes; but that still seems too long. There are several UniObjects connections to both UD servers from mv.NET and DesignBais (in the case of the development server).
