That would be GREAT! Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Janice Losgar Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 1:12 PM To: 'InterMapper Discussion' Subject: RE: [IM-Talk] Backing up Intermapper Michael, You should backup the entire InterMapper Settings folder, if at all possible. There are custom probes to consider, as well as backed-up and deleted maps, MIB files, icons, etc. that you wouldn't want to lose. You will need the Chart Data folder to restore the charts. There is a server command that will remove chart data for x number of days; if you aren't interested in historical data, then that is one way to trim the size of the InterMapper Settings folder. You should also have a look at how you are managing log files in the Server Settings > Log Files settings. The logs can grow quite large if you aren't periodically deleting them. Please let me know if this doesn't work for you, and I can get you a list of the bare minimum you need to backup.

However, the Intermapper Settings folder is HUGE, and I don't think I need to back up the entire thing. One big folder is Chart Data. Do I need the chart data folders? I don't care about the info IN the charts, I just want the charts themselves to be there if we reinstall. The historical data in the charts isn't need at all, but I can't re-create the charts themselves, it's over 250 charts!!! Any other folders we don't really need to backup? We want the maps (obviously), charts (no data), notifications, notification names, icons.
