I guess I could just set up a directory system with subdirectories for
each area of the sales cycle and instruct everyone to save their
documents in the correct directory. If I use samba I can specify access
permissions. Can I specify compression in some way so that I use less
disk space?
I know CDW is pricey. That is my bosses choice but I get the perks.
They send me the 'gimmies'. The last I got was a wood miniature bat and
a 'real' hard ball with the CDW and HP emblems on them. I have an
entire shelf of 'gimmies' from suppliers.

I use a customer database that I wrote myself to keep most of the
information, and all documents that are generated for a customer are
simply kept in a directory with their company name one it. I'm sure
there are better solutions, but what I'm using seems to work.
Every so often I do a dump of the database, and put it on a more
redundant system. Just FYI, CDW is really expensive :P

Subject: [SLUG] Disk archiving
I am beginning research into disk archiving of all of our paper based
sales and customer service data. My intention is not to go back and
re-enter all the old data but rather start at some point archiving all
the new data. I want to stay with a Linux solution. Our hardware
supplier, CDW, says they have archiving solutions and will be happy to
discuss them with me, but I am sure that I will pay through the nose for
their "solution".
Does anyone have any experience with data archiving using Linux that you
will be willing to share?
Everything related to a customer or potential customer is referenced by
a customer number so I think that would simplify the solution. I want
everything including but not limited to the following: Initial
correspondence, proposals, art work, sales contracts, A/R documents,
payments and all correspondences.
