Hard Drive full after backup to desktop
« on: May 07, 2004, 08:47:06 PM »
Freaking out just a little.  Server has been locking up on me after about 1 to 2 hours so I decided that it was time to do a backup just in case.

Well it failed and now tells me I have no disk space left.

It's an 80GB drive with only 9GB being used supposedly.  Does anyone know where the backup to desktop gzip is stored on the server?

I need to delete the files so I can get a valid backup before I proceed.

Thanks

Hi,

Backup to desktops are meant to go to a file on your desktop PC, not your server HDD.

You are not trying to save the desktop backup file on a network drive mapped from your SME server (ie. an Ibay) are you ?? If you are, that would explain why you run out of space !
