When I migrate to SBS I'll copy, not move

I'm just in the process of implementing the SBS myself. Our current system has the identifier D85.

The new system is going to be D25: memorable to me as it's the year we released the SBS. The previous post made me realise that when I migrate my data across, I should copy it and not move it.

Because these old identifiers will always be useful. I can just leave that data sitting there forever. Maybe move it off to an archive drive so I don't update it by accident. But old systems should never disappear: they should just be left, frozen like Han Solo.

Then an email with an old reference can come in years from now and I'll always have the ability to find its related artefacts basically instantly.

Nice.
