Nope Bill, you've pretty well got it. Except, you DON'T want to move the DBxxxx files to the new disk - you want to DELETE them completely. Then, the next time sombody does a DB Search against those archives, the DBxxxx files will get rebuilt in their new, proper location automagically. Oh, also, if this is a NEW minidisk, make sure you update your LOCAL SYSVARS file and add it to the MDISK and CHECKMDISK parameters if you want it to be accessed dynamically and/or you want it to be checked for sufficient freespace. Or, make sure it's ACCessed in your PROFILE EXEC if you want it to be a statically accessed disk, and add it to the CHECKDISK list to check the freespace. -Ted
