Thank you for your response, Jonathan. I may be misunderstanding the page you referred me to. Does it say I can expect that I will have temporary periods when 2x my existing data size will be required for disk space? This I can plan for. But is there some sort of rule of thumb that it could require 3x or 4x the data size in disk space during digestion of the data? Thank you again for your help! Julie
