As it stands, my database has grown and each complete backup is about 5 gig. I have the AC off site backup utility, I back up to my D: drive nightly, and I run a server with dual hard drives continuously mirroring themselves. AC also backs up "right where it is" on the C drive. By my calculations, I have 5 backup copies of my database at any given time in addition to the original database. I have a small program deleting old backups off of the C. drive (I keep the last 10 days). However there are times when my C Drive space becomes limited and I manually have to go in and delete some of the older backups. Of course this comes up in the middle of a busy Monday and prevents all users from working for 10 minutes or so, while I fix the issue.
So, Is there a way of turning off the "backup where it is" option? Is it possible to move my database straight to the D: drive, and get it off of the C all together? (thereby saving C: drive for program files and other documents)
Does anyone do anything else to conserve C-drive space?
Thanks,
Aaron Way, D.O.
