data base size

Question

What is the typical data base size for Sage 100 Contractor? Our IT makes it sound like we are using way too much data space.

Char DeLange · Answer

How much are you storing inside the Company folder and how large is your attachments folder as those are the two main culprits for an IT to complain that you are using up way too much space. 
 If you use the attachments feature in Sage (which is a great function) that you should consider purchasing the File Attachment Manager from Wright Office Solutions. https://wrightoffice.com/attachments-management/ . To discuss this add on in more detail with a member of the Wright Office team, please email sales@wrightoffice.com or call their office at (517) 580-3717. 
 It will move them outside the company folder and monitor your attachments to let you know when links are broken. It also points all current and archives to the same set of attachments (per company of course) to reduce even more space. And with the attachments being outside the company folder, every backup will also be smaller. 
 Note: the default location to save pdf reports is also inside the company folder \files\reports. Instead of saving items here (where they are not security protected, consider putting shortcuts to new file locations in your regular shared data location. This way IT can secure confidential files using windows security group settings.
