hiberfile.sys is the windows hibernation file, if you dont hybernate your
computer at night you can go to power options in the control panel and turn
hibertation off under that tab.

Hello Everyone!
I am the "Systems Administrator" for a small law firm and am having an
issue with low disk space on the C Drive (system partition). We are
running SBS2k3 on a Dell Poweredge 600SC, 1.5GB RAM, 2.4GHz Pentium 4
with the following disk configuration:
On a CERC 100ATA RAID Controller with RAID 1 enabled
Disk 0
C: 12GB Partition, 843MB Free (SBS2k3 partition, 1.5GB hiberfile.sys
required for UPS)
D: 25.1GB Partition, 7.86GB Free (ClientApps, Quickbooks, Scanned
Documents and Timeslips Billing Software)
Disk 1
F: 45.0GB, 34.4GB Free (Contains Sharepoint, WSUS, Monitoring and
Exchange DBs, pagefile)
G: 66.7GB, 37.0GB Free (Contains Users, "Cases" and WSUS Content)
Sometime last year I was up against this same wall, but was able to buy
some time by moving Exchange data, User folders, ClientApps, and
Sharepoint and WSUS Databases off of the C Partition. Now I have about
800MB of space and I cannot find anything else to move.
I am entertaining doing a backup and restore over the weekend during
which I will repartition the offending disk. Another option would be
to order a new pair of larger hard drives and do things that way, yet I
keep reading that there are potential driver issues restoring to
different hardware.
Does anyone have any advice. We diligently perform our backups nightly
using SBS Backup and I plan to backup to a external hard drive also for
some added security before pulling the trigger.
Let me also add that I am hesitant to replace the pair of hard drives
that make up the C and D drives due to potentially replacing the server
with something beefier down the line. I'd like to keep this one
running as long and cheaply as possible.
.
