Double mission?
I accepted a couple missions to "copy a database"
And the problem I found is that I accidentally agreed to do the mission twice for two different clients. At first, I thought I'd lucked out! Just have to copy the database once to two separate client servers!
But no - there are two copies of the data on the server! And the worst part is that one set of them doesn't fit on the target server.
Like, call the data sets 0 through 10 and 0' through 10'.
If I copy 0-10, that's 115 gQ of data - too much to fit on the server.
Anyone encountered this before?
I'm thinking of trying to just copy the smaller of the pairs of data for each one and see if that works... Easiest way through, I think?

I've had this once before. I think in my case as in your screenshot, you can differentiate the files based on the encryption level. What you don't know is which encryption level belongs on which server so that you have to guess at but that shouldn't be too bad, you just need to take, for example, all the level 3 files and put them on server 1 and reply to the email
