I would not tell it to take the whole 1.5 TB just to see what  
happens ...

You can tell it exactly what to do. You set a source and a  
destination folder and select the kind of organization you want from  
several options which you ought to understand before you go for the  
big stuff.

You don't have to mess up your instruments while you are learning.  
Just copy a handful and try in a safe place. ExsManager has a lot of  
security built in but as with all tools you can do something good and  
something bad.

I suggest to learn the program slowly, test with duplicated  
instruments in separate folders and observe what it does. If you are  
sure go for a group of real stuff and if you are satisfied increase  
the number you process at once. You don't even have to process. Just  
let it scan and analyze your source folders that will tell you about  
the performance and the condition of your samples.

Hey, I feel like a sales agent!
Andrea, where are you? I am not supposed to put everything right.  
Come and talk to your customers ;-)

I find 3 minutes a good time for that scenario.
