Omnidex Snapshots are extremely easy to move around as they are simply a collection of files. They can be backed up, moved to other servers, or if allowed, transferred to an analyst's laptop.
There are three groups of files associated with an Omnidex Snapshot:
./simple.xml
./dat/cnt.dat ./dat/gdr.dat ./dat/households.dat ./dat/individuals.dat ./dat/sta.dat
./idx/SIMPLE0000 ./idx/SIMPLE0001 ./idx/SIMPLE0002 ./idx/SIMPLE0003 ./idx/SIMPLE0004 ./idx/SIMPLE0005 ./idx/SIMPLE0006 ./idx/SIMPLE0007 ./idx/SIMPLE0008 ./idx/SIMPLE0009 ./idx/SIMPLE0010 ./idx/SIMPLE0011 ./idx/SIMPLESTATS
The example below shows the files for a small Omnidex Snapshot:
./simple.xml
./dat/cnt.dat ./dat/gdr.dat ./dat/households.dat ./dat/individuals.dat ./dat/sta.dat
./idx/SIMPLE0000 ./idx/SIMPLE0001 ./idx/SIMPLE0002 ./idx/SIMPLE0003 ./idx/SIMPLE0004 ./idx/SIMPLE0005 ./idx/SIMPLE0006 ./idx/SIMPLE0007 ./idx/SIMPLE0008 ./idx/SIMPLE0009 ./idx/SIMPLE0010 ./idx/SIMPLE0011 ./idx/SIMPLESTATS
