raphaelKONG Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi ! I wonder if it is possible to change the storage location of the config65 files (.dat and .bak) Actually, it is stored in c: drive wich is not large enough to handle 2*300Mo My system is Retrospect 6.5 on W2K SRV Thx !

jelenko Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Your config files should be ~ 1MB total. Your backup sets, of course, could be much larger - but you have the option of deciding where to save your backup sets. Can you confirm the size of your config files? And, that there are no backup sets in the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelenko Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 First, I have to say that my config and bak files have grown from 500KB to 1.5MB from time of my post above. [i've had Retro 7 installed for ~ 6 months] I have added a couple additional scripts recently, so that may account for the increase. I've got 6 scripts - although one has 6-7 selectors and one has 3 separate schedules for 3 separate media. Do you have a lot of complex scripts? Seeing you're using the server edition - are you backing up a lot of clients? Not sure, but the files may shrink if you remove scripts. I think the config file also includes references to your backup sets, but each reference shouldn't take very much space. Of course, if you need all the scripts, you wouldn't want to delete any of them. Otherwise, the only way I know to 'clean' these files is to delete them and let Retrospect recreate new ones. Of course, this will delete all scripts and all references to Backup sets. Win 2K might let you delete the files in Safe Mode - but I'm not sure if Retrospect will tolerate it when you next boot into normal mode. For sure, you can uninstall Retro, delete the files, reinstall Retro [and recreate your scripts] HTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
