SQLite files of less than 100 MB starting with the prefix "etilqs_" keep accumulating irregularly.
We are currently using Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.0.
The following folders have grown in size and the free space on the C drive has decreased.
The folder contains an irregularly occurring file of approximately 100 MB of SQLite beginning with the prefix "etilqs_".
Please let me know the cause, measures taken, etc.
<folder path>
C:\User\Acronis Agent User\AppData\Local\Temp
(No corresponding paths were found in the knowledge base.
The forum does not have a search function available.
Also, I have not checked all of the forums, which are over 200p.
We apologize if a similar inquiry has already been made.)
Thank you very much.
Checking the Knowledge Base,
1. If the Ver of SQLite is an existing model and an error occurs in the Windows event of database creation or modification.
→ I did not see any such error. Just to be sure, where should I check for Windows events?
2. When the transaction log is large during full backup
→ This is a full backup, but if you check the contents of the file, you will find a log with the following contents.
・Create partition image
・Archive for the 'xxx' Category
・Backup command 'Backup copy/archive cleanup (1st location)' completed successfully.
・<Message> <FullError> etc. tags
Is there a mechanism like Oracle's archive logs that are automatically deleted when a complete backup is successful?
（It has been confirmed that some files are quickly lost once stored in the Temp folder.）
Hello Yugo.
Unfortunately that version of the product is very outdated and that mechanism doesn't exist for this product.
What I advise you as workaround is to delete manually files that are inside a tmp or temp folder and multiple days or weeks old.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you, as always, for your support.
Then, as a countermeasure, delete them periodically in the Bat file task.
What are the possible underlying causes of the outbreak?

Hello!
That should be investigated because the root it's not clear. Happens we don's maintain that product since many years ago so a escalation it's not possible.
But I would say the cause is the SQL lite itself. If you browse on google you will find that same issue on many programs even with browsers. The SQL stores those files on the temp folder itself.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for all your help.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.0. is old and not supported.
However, I understand that the increase in the Temp folder is caused by a SQLite issue and that there are many similar examples.
So, I described an example of the contents of the file last time, but for reference, may I see a sample of other SQLite logs that fall out?

Thanks.
Thank you very much.
I have checked the site above.
1.How to confirm the cause of the rapid increase in TempDB
→ I have not yet been able to actually confirm this with SQL executions, etc., but it seems worth considering.
2. Postgress temporary files
→ We will not go through this time because of SQLite.
3. What is an etilqs file?
→ The article states that there will be an increase with respect to products that use SQLite, which is consistent with this case, but,
However, the article did not specifically mention the specific cause.
4.Files in the Temp folder cannot be deleted.
→ We will go through this issue as it occurs when using McAfee products.
Thank you again.
I am trying to find a site where I can check out a sample on my end,
None of the sites I'm looking at are disclosing the specifics of what's in the file.
The method of checking SQLite's TempDB utilization in 1. may be the easiest to understand.
However, it will take some time to investigate because we need to set up an environment to access the SQLite DB.
