FileMaker Best Practices

Estimated Time To Read This: < 1 minute      


  • Make sure you have good backups using the built-in backup schedules in FileMaker Server.
  • Take a copy and save them as clones with no data, especially after you’ve made changes to layouts, scripts or relationships. Clones will be essential if you develop any kind of corruption in your files.
  • Periodically save your files as a compressed copy. This keeps the data but has routines that clean up the structure of the file. It’s the kind of practice that takes about 15 minutes and can be done once a month or so.
