Moving Data

If you wish to move a Partek Flow project data from one disk to another and continue using the project, please follow the steps below:

1. Use rsync to copy the project data from the old disk to the new disk. For example, if you wish to move Project A from an internal disk to an external drive mounted as hdd:

$ rsync -avr /home/user/FlowData/Project_A /mnt/HDD/FlowData2/Project_A

Using rsync -avr guarantees that the time stamps would not change.\

1. In Partek Flow, logon as a user with Admin privileges. Go to Settings>Directory permissions page

2. In the Directory Reassignment section, type the Former directory and select the Current directory (Figure 1)

For example:

• Former directory: /home/user/FlowData/Project_A

• Current directory: /mnt/HDD/FlowData2/Project_A

Figure 1: Directory Reassignment

1. Select Reassign button

2. Open the project.

• In the Analyses tab, check if the Project disk space on the lower right has been updated

• In the Data tab, check the project output directory has changed to the new directory\

1. You can now remove the former directory
