Running HEM from an external drive - advice

[adurnin]

I had to replace my laptop last week and it means I have to reload my entire DB's so this time round I figured I'd store HEM on an external drive...


What is the best way to do it... can I install the software on my laptop and have the HH's import to a location on the external drive.

OR

Should I just install everything on the external drive? Are there any implications for either that i'm overlooking?

Heres the FAQ on running over on an external drive

Also another option is to run over a network

There isnt really any downside other than if your internal hard drive is faster than your external one then it will obviously be slower. With the networked option it will drop in speed a bit too but obviously the plus side is you can access the database from either computer quickly without dragging around an external hand drive
