There are several posts regarding Imported to Indexed data and most come from DTPO days. I have an indexed DT3 database (indexed2020.dtBase2) with SpiderOak folders/files and some local indexed folders/files which I would like to migrate to imported2022.dtBase2 in response to BLUEFROG’s persistent useful advice and my workflow as a slightly more experienced user. The final results would leave indexed2020.dtBase2 with only a few remote files and none local. imported2022.dtBase2 would host most of my user-created files and no indexed files. I plan on getting from here to there without data loss by these steps:
- Backup all dtBase2 before starting
- Individually import each indexed folder from Finder into Imported2022.dtBase2
- Backup again
- After verifying successful import to Imported2022, delete each imported folder from Finder (which I expect to delete the same from Indexed2020)
Should these steps accomplish the desired migration, and, if not, what else should be included/excluded?
