>>Are you considering...

IMHO it's a mistake to keep app data in dbfs in 2018. No problem for static lookups or local munging of giant static lookups like healthcare LCDs in the US. But data? It made sense once, when there was no smb and no express databases or SQLLite. But we moved all our data to C/S in 1995 when VFP's RV made that so easy. Initially LV/RV meant the system was backend agnostic, but it's all SQL Server these days apart from one MySQL instance that costs more than it saved.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
