Hi Leyne,

Yah. you are right, now i saw that NTFS accept 16TB files.

Doing the backup and restore Using full page,the size is 42 MB. Really good when the size decrease.

I would like to know you approach. I did not understand it quite well. You was proposing divide brushes by properties?

The similarity is based on 30(could be more) different technical construction properties like
* Material (7 classification)
* Hole type (3 different holes)
* shoulder type (3)
* chamfer type
* insulation type
* terminal type
* shape

So, when comparing brush 1 with brush2, the first one can have a shape and the second one a different shape. So the similarity will be zero. There is a set of pre-defined values that must match in order to have a minimum level of similarity (shape,application, both with or without shunt) . After this minimal set is reached, others comparisons will be performed and the result will be a percentage stored in column similarity at the table described.

I don't think I agree with your approach/reasoning.

For example to find all brushes which are identical to each other (in 1
dimension), it would be very easy get the list of distinct values and
then build a result which list the brushes which match or lists
resulting brush-pairs.

Could you please explain the types of analysis which would be required.

Is similarity determined/calculated using one or multiple factors?

Can you explain how similarity is determined/calculated?

Sean
