Thank you for your reply.
In looking at the .logs folder for a user's data store (the path = E:\backups\DLO-Backups\HOMELAIR-bear\.dlo\oso\.logs") I see 867 entries, taking up 22.3GB, with dates back to 9/19/2005.
In checking the settings in Database Maintenance, I see my recent activirty was this morning at 4:00am, on schedule. I keep 90 days of job history, 30 days of job logs and alert history and 14 days of reports.
Shall I assume that the /log files in the .logs folder fall under the Job History data type and will be purged on or about Jan 17?
What is particularly alarming is the that folder being backed up is only about 250MB. Yet, these log files are using up TEN TIMES the space of the data being protected (~250mb).
I guess I will have to reduce my job history retention period. Correct?
