<p>Use toolbox, advanced mode, shrink dataset. How much did this reduce your file size to?</p>
<p>Then use file/export backup.</p>
<p>Then on new computer use file/restore backup and UNTICK retain sync settings.</p>
<p>That’s it.</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/571128722022-12-19T00:57:44Z2022-12-19T00:57:44ZHow to ensure that syncing is turned off, and what to do with all the sync files?<div><p>Stuart:<br>
Thanks for the ideas. I'm a real fan of your tools.</p>
<p>That does the trick. Also good to know that really everything is in the trunk file.</p>
<p>The size of the whole dataset folder tree is around 25 MB now, with the trunk file itself being 23 MB.</p>
<p>As for the syncing question, I think that if I go to the old machine and turn off syncing before I copy the dataset folder tree, that should keep it off on the new machine.</p></div>DavidRosstag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/571128722022-12-19T01:02:49Z2022-12-19T01:02:49ZHow to ensure that syncing is turned off, and what to do with all the sync files?<div><p>If you do a backup and restore as Stuart describes that turns off syncing on that copy.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/571128722022-12-19T06:28:04Z2022-12-19T06:28:04ZHow to ensure that syncing is turned off, and what to do with all the sync files?<div><p>As above.
