Too big folder in ProgramData

Thread needs solution

Hello all,

 

I've noticed lately, in  ProgramData\Acronis\TaskManager\Logs  folder contains in many ".gz" file. All are ~3-7MB , and the all folder size is more than 30GB. 
What could have happened, and what need to do if i want the folder size let be a smaller?

What kind of datas these? What contains these files?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello Károly!

They are probably the archives of the task_manager.log when it grows too big. You can probably safely delete the gz archives to free up space, but it worth examining why it's so big in the first place.

I checked my log size on an agent, ams and storage node machine, but it's around just a few MB. My guess is some internal service is too verbose or doing so many retries. I suggest you backup the archives somewhere else, in case there's an indication when it started happening. Contact support about the issue to get some feedback of what's happening.

Task_manager is where activities seem to be stored, logs are probably related. Check if you have stuck activities or warnings with a lot of retries.

In the meanwhile update to newest version.
