It does require the files to be loaded to the external media along with the hyperlinked file index, but is easy to carry/transport several gigabytes of files on one DVD. Or USB Stick.
Files are mostly .dwg - .pdf - .doc and shape files with the (current) excel indexes hyperlinked to each relevant file. Currently using DVD's containing the files and indexes that the engineers carry with them.
Split across 6 separate indexes and packages
Size: 25.0 GB (25,771,725,413 bytes)
Contains: 14,464 files. 1,275 folders (all hyperlinked in excel with file sizes and content description)
Total Documents & Drawings: Approximately 51,000+ (Multiple drawings & Documents in some files)
I also need to easily be able to carry out global changes of Hyperlinks (folder names). The current file volume is set to double by September. and life of the file system is at least 20 years, probably 25+ and needs to be maintained with changes as I stated above.
Note of interest. the hard copies of these files were transported recently by road and took 2 removal trucks.
I think you get the general idea
