Best Practice

The following points should be considered in order to work efficiently with the toolbox

  1. use a system that is as powerful as possible (fast multi-core CPU, sufficient RAM, high-performance discs)
  2. work with local containers:
    • For an import, create the container locally where the toolbox is installed and then copy it to the appliance via SMB/CIFS share
    • For repairs or to use the archive search in containers, copy the containers via the SMB/CIFS share from the appliance to where the toolbox is installed (close and remove the container in the appliance beforehand to avoid duplicate access)
  3. do not install the toolbox on systems in productive use (especially not on an Exchange server, as the toolbox uses all free resources)
  4. if possible, deactivate the virus scanner on the system

You create the SMB/CIFS share mentioned in the appliance in the Admin web interface under Configuration => Network => SMB/CIFS.
