Depends on the version. And you don't really touch the files themselves.

Arcserve versions up to 6.61 provided the dbmgr gui to do db maintenance. After 6.61 it is command line utils.

To control the ongoing size of the DB you really need to set how many days worth of data is maintained by using the config. util.

Ah I'd say just init astpsdat rather than blowing the whole thing away. That way you only loose the list of files and directories backed up.

Also check the log directory, old logs to clear out. And the temp directory should be blank when there are no jobs running.
