Moving all files from Solid Edge Insight to EPDM Vault

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and new to Solid Works and EPDM and I'll appreciate any advice you can give.

The task:

Move our Solid Edge files/folders of which there are 7,000 files in 318 folders (4.2G of data) into the EPDM Vault.

The situation:

The Solid Edge files ( in Insight) and the EPDM Vault are on 2 different servers.

The Solid Edge .prt/.asm files and dft files are in seperate folders (which we won't do in EPDM).

Questions:

Would it be better to merge the Solid Edge .prt/.asm files and dft files first and then move the single folder all at once?

Will merging matter, since I've been told that all links will be broken when opening a Solid Edge in Solid Works?

Is there a best way to move files from one server to another?

Thanks for your inputs!

Jon
