Solved: Prime Infrastructure 3.2 backup file increasing

tsgruu2000 · ‎03-29-2018

Hi All,

Our Customer is wondering why the backup file size is constantly increasing.
From what I know there have been no changes on Prime or WLC.

I can not imagine that the log files have increased in such a huge amount.

I would appreciate any hints why this can happen.

Many Thanks!

Urs

- You may want to try a ncs cleanup (after ncs stop) ; especially answer yes, when it is asked to cleanup the database (this will not remove or initialize the database) - so it's safe.

When the mirror will then always repond to me with ' The only thing that exceeds your brilliance is your beauty! '

many thanks for the quick response. I have known about this command. I wonder why this happens and if there is a way to prevent it. I mean there might be a job on Prime for this cleaning tasks. Otherwise one has to perform the cleanup from time to time.

- It will probably the latter, otherwise they would have automated it , too - check whether this helps, concerning the backup-size.
