Greetings,
I've searched the forum and didn't see this topic covered. Is it possible to specify the location of the _sgbak directories? Assuming there isn't is it safe to go in and clean it out every so often?
For example, I have 15 different copies of one particular file in the _sgbak folder. What would happen if I deleted the 14 older versions?
My main reason for asking is my weekly wwwroot backup to CD now takes more than one CD unless I use compression and I would prefer not to have to do that
Thanks in advance for any hints or tips on managing the _sgbak folders.
Oh, FWIW, I'm using verion 2.0.0 under Windows 2003 server with VS.NET 2003.

Yes, you can clear out the _sgbak folders anytime you want (unlike the _sgvault folders, which keep state info). _sgbak is only there to backup files that have been modified, or were unknown, prior to Vault overwriting them. The files get put into _sgbak so that if a Get overwrites files you didn't want overwritten (if you had the "overwrite" option set), you can manually restore them.
Automatically Delete of BackUp Folder
Is there a way to automatically delete the contents of the _sgbak folder after a specified number of days? To avoid it getting so full?
