Man Nick, and I thought I was in between the rocks!  I pass the prize to
you! I thought 50 to 1 was a hard ratio.. I'm sure done whining after
knowing you're holding up 600 users!

Subject: RE: How can I regain Disk Space


I had been performing Brick level backups with ArcServIT, but recently
have been running Full backups of the IS and Directory, using NTbackup.
(by recently I mean the past couple of days.) I am going to continue doing
the Full backups every day.
   I had turned off all logging a long time ago, so I don't have any logs
per say taking up disk space.
   When I looked at the Event Log, Event ID 1221 said that there was only
4MB of white space. I cant understand this, because I know for a fact that
a few people that had over 100 Megs each of resources being used, and
completely wiped out their systems early yesterday.
   And you are absolutely right, being a Health Care Facility, we are on a
very tight budget. put it this way, I am the only person they have to run
450 Workstations with 600 users. No techs, no Exchange people, just me,
and I have been learning Exchange as I have had time to. We currently have
a Budget freeze, although I am trying to threaten them that all Email will
be down if they don't allow me to purchase new Drives.
  I set up the IS to purge all Deleted items every 5 days, because people
were using this as an archive. And I told everyone to purge their Sent
Items.

Thanks again for all the advice.
