Hi Guys
I've been facing some issues with backups when is not too much space on the C drive, and the backup is configured to be placed on a different driver or a network path, seems that this option is not working as it presented to the user, because if you select any of these options (different drive/network path). Keep doing a temp file on C
So still you need enough space to allocate this file in a temporary and if you haven't you will end up with errors and no backup created.
I tried selecting both options local path on an E drive and network path where the backup should be copied but is still doing the temp file on C:\Windows\Temp
Is there a way to complete this without using the C drive?
Thanks
So is there any official resolution to this issue? I am having same problem on 2 production systems. The temporary mysql backup file getting created exceeds the free space on C drive so the Backup fails and the server ends up with 0 disk space left. Apparently, from this and other threads, even if you tell DM to store the backup on a different drive, the temp files still get created on the c drive which is the main cause of the issue.
Thanks
