Symptom
Arcserve Backup is generating a high number of catalog database log files that are consuming a large amount of disk space on the Arcserve Backup server.
Solution
Arcserve Backup generates catalog database log files that can be used for debugging purposes. The log files are stored in the following directory on the Arcserve Backup server:
C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup\LOG
By default, Arcserve Backup generates up to 3 log files, and the overall size of each log file can be up to 300 MB. However, Arcserve Backup lets you customize the behavior of the log files by creating registry keys that control the number and size of the log files.
If you created the required optional keys and specified high values for the number and size of the log files, the log files can consume a large amount of disk space on the backup server.
To control the number and size of the catalog database log files, do the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\CA ARCServe Backup\Base\Database
Note: With this value, Arcserve Backup generates a new log file after the catalog database logging activity causes the current log file to exceed the specified value.
