FYI there are limits to the number of savesets that can be defined for a
client. (I believe these are more the size of the field rather than the number
of exact entries.)
When doing auto-saveset-breakup, I tend to also configure for the potential to
create/release multiple client instances, and limit the number of savesets per
client instance to around the 200-300 mark, depending on how deep the directory
structure is. That 200-300 mark I found was the most suitable limit when
dealing with directories one level down - e.g.,
D:\users
or
/home
With additional path details in each saveset, you may get less mileage out of
the design.
Cheers,
Preston.
