Hi Matt,
Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.
>From your description, I understand the issue to be: the backup file is
automatically saved in C: drive and is lack of space of the C: drive. If I
am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.
The restore site database STS_RESTORE should be saved in the location of
the SQL instance installed. Such as C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL$SHAREPOINT\Data. So the STS_RESTORE is created in the C drive
even you have moved the Sharepoint database to another location. You can
also move the database to other partition as the method to move sharepoint
database.
Additionally I would like to give some suggestions to free up the main
drive:
1. Use the Disk Cleanup tool to delete all temporary files. You can launch
the tool from Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk
Cleanup. For more information, you can refer to the following KB article
which also applies to Windows 2000/Windows 2003:
310312 Description of the Disk Cleanup Tool in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310312
2. You can delete the $NtUninstallxxxxxx$ folder to free up space. When we
install a Windows Update or Hot Fix, a folder named $NtUninstallxxxxxx$
will be created under the WINNT folder. When we install Service Pack, a
folder named $NTServicePackUninstall$ will also be created. These folders
contain the uninstallation files for these Windows Updates and service
pack. They keep the original version of the files replaced by the updates
and service pack. With these folders, we can uninstall the updates and
service pack in case some cause problems to the system. If your system runs
well, you can safely remove the folders.
For more information, see:
290402 HOW TO: Remove the Service Pack Restore Files and Folders in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290402
3. Perform an online backup of the Exchange 2003 Information Store to purge
the transaction log files. You can use either the Windows 2003 built-in
NTBackup tool or an Exchange-aware third party backup tool. To use NTBackup
to backup Exchange information store, you can refer to the following
Microsoft KB article:
258243 How to Back Up and Restore an Exchange Computer by Using the Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258243
4. Use the "Eseutil /d" command to defrag the Exchange 2003 server
databases. When the users delete messages, the size of the database will
keep the same and you must perform an offline defragmentation using the
exeutil tool to reduce the Exchange database seize. Please note that
defragmenting a database requires free disk space equal to 110 percent of
the size of the database that you want to process so if you do not have
enough free space to run the eseutil tool, you can defrag the database on
another computer. See:
328804 How to Defragment Exchange Databases
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328804
192185 XADM: How to Defragment with the Eseutil Utility (Eseutil.exe)
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=192185
5. You can consider moving the Exchange databases and log files to another
hard drive with bigger capacity. You can refer to the following MS KB
articles to get more information on doing this:
821915 How to move Exchange databases and logs in Exchange Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=821915
6. You can also move client programs folder, sharepoint database, monitor
database, and so on to another location to free up the disk space.
You can refer to the following MS white paper to move data folders as you
want to:
Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/maintain/movedata.mspx
830254 How to move the client programs folder to another location in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=830254
Hope above information help! I am happy to be of assistance to you and look
forward to your reply.
Have a nice day!
Sincerely,
Jenny Wu
