Big files in the Database folder

[Hellooooooooo]

Hello everyone.

Just had a look this morning at the backup server as the O/S drive is out of space. Had a look into the folders and the Arcserve DATABASE directory has a few file that are using up the space.

Astpsdat.000 1,507,752mb
Astpsdat.001 764 320 mb
asmsg.000 676,704 mb
Astpsdat.002 493,472 mb
asmsg.001 79,616 mb
asmsg.002 68,960 mb
Asobject.002 66,368 mb
Asobject.000 61,536 mb
Asobject.004 49,952 mb
asmsgdat.000 39,616 mb
rAAAAANE.chg 26,176 mb
rAAAAAPV.chg 18,496 mb
asmsgdat.001 18,368 mb
Asobject.003 14,784 mb
Asobject.001 7,072 mb

We had to of the backup jobs crash last night, and one job today had to be stopped because of the slow network link that we have to another part of the site.

Can these files be deleted, some of them are 3 months old, some are in the last 2 days. Will this affect the Arcserve database if I delete the files?

Cheers everyone

Hey Marty,

Don't delete them. Read through the faq478-5164 and you'll be able to reduce the size on your DB. Keep in mind that your DB will be growing so you might want to do this periocically.


I hope you find this post helpful.
