Best Practice: Create Vaults First, Then Copy Your Existing Folders and Files Into the Vaults
If you have an existing file and folder structure on a drive on your local computer or a network drive that you would like to move into SmartVault, use the SmartVault Drive to first create vaults and parent folders in SmartVault. Then copy and paste your existing file and folder structure into SmartVault using the SmartVault Drive.
Note: SmartVault recommends that you do not move a group of folders that contains more than 1GB of data at one time into SmartVault using the SmartVault Drive. Instead, move or copy and paste folders into SmartVault in groups, or chunks, of 1GB of data or less.
For more information about creating vaults and folders and using the SmartVault Drive, see the following topics:
