Are these .log files in your Windows folder really large? Usually those are
just text files that log install information and aren't too big. You need
to track down where the really big rfiles are and find out what they are
for. Don';t just start deleting or you could cause more grief.
The exchange database files are by default in c:\program
files\exchsrvr\MDBDATA. If the edb files are getting big then move the
exchange database to D: using the doc I metioned. Before you start verify
your backup is backing up everything and make sure it still does afterthe
move.

Thank You for your post,
I am not sure what I am suppose to back up.
The directorsy for the .mdf and .ldf are
C:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\data
C:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql$sbsmonitoring\data
C:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql$sharepoint data
I am using Exchange and the log files are mostly in C:\windows and they
are
in other locations as well. I am using sharepoint company we, and was
using
the incoming fax service.
I am in dire straits, what can I safely delete pronto to free up space.
Thank You

Some questions/comments:
1) What are the directory locations and name/extension of these log
files?
SQL data and log files usually use .mdf & .ldf.
2) Are you properly backing up your SQL database? That will cause the
log
files to accumulate.
3) Are you using Exchange for email? The same two points above apply to
exchange databases. You must back them up otherwise exchange log files
(.LOG) will accumulate.
You do not need to uninstall anything - both exchange and SQL have ways
of
moving database files and log files. With SQL, you simply use the
Enterprise manager to backup and restore the database to the new
location.

Hi,
I have SBS 2K3 Premium with SP1 installed on the C drive. I have SQL
installed as well but do not use ISA. I followed Harrys book but made
the
partition 20 GB. I am now running out of disk space on C. It is
obvious
that
SQL is using the space. I have 1 LOB app that uses SQL but stores most
of
there data on D:. Howeve, when I do a search for files with there name
I
get
a lot of log files that could be as large as 1,500.000KB. Is there a
way
to
change the installation location of SQL without having to uninstall
SQL. I
also am concerned how it will affect the LOB app.
Thank You
.
