> Our manual is missing.
Haha, he meant Filemaker: The Missing Manual, not that the manual was missing.
The Filemaker Training Series is a pretty good starting place, albeit a little expensive. But you do get a free copy of FMPA, which is worth $499 by itself.
Although depending on how your developer has set Filemaker up, you may need permissions to see the actual flow of scripts and/or data throughout the solution and access the ERD and database manager.
You could get by with less than what I suggest here, pretty much any PC that support ECC ram will run server 2016 and most mother boards have RAID support, but for for not crazy money you can build a server that should perform well for years. I looked high and low and wrung my hands and this is what I'm building:
​
Supermicro TN4T Server
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z7O7EAS/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
supports 128GB of ECC ram (i'm running 64)
512 GB M.2 SSD for OS FMS and internally stored containers (my solution stores a few documents in internal containers)
1TB SSD for referenced Containers
2x 2 TB hard drives for backups configured as a mirrored raid at.
Off machine backup to a NAS (Synology DS413) on our LAN
Off site backups to Backblaze.

We use [this one](UPGRADED 2 in 1 1d Laser USB 2.0 wired + Wireles Bluetooth Barcode Scanner for iPhone iPad Android Tablet PC, Support Mac OS X, Android, Windows 10 an https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ERUJ6ZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_shsMUarsyUROt) in our warehouse. Everyone seems to like it.
I'd start with this book.
