    maybe someone could help. we are upgrading the OS on our optigold server to win 2k3 server because of other issues and was wondering about exporting all of the data in OG, because i think there was some corruption is some of the data when we had a power outage,(a few customers we couldnt delete, and some other things of that sort) how would i go about doing a full export and then re-importing that stuff? would i just do a 'raw export' of each data type and then import each one once we reinstall? or is there another way? Thanks.

    The best way to do it would be to do a normal upgrade (the raw data is extracted out and populated into a known good set of data files). Even if it's from/to the same version.

    another question when upgrading optigold to a new version it asks 'Existing data base files found would you like to rename them with .FM extensions for upgrade purposes?' what do i say there?
