Ron Cates Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I have Filemaker 10 set up on a new windows server. I have a sceduled backup set for each night. But every morning I get this message: Error 160 SERVER Schedule "Daily" was aborted; not enough free space on destination. There is plenty of free space on the destination drive. The destination drive is a usb external. Could this be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 The destination drive is a usb external. Possibly. Is the server being run with all users logged out? Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Cates Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 The backup happens overnight when all users are logged out of the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 No, sorry, I wasn't as clear as I could have been. Not FileMaker Pro client users logged into the database, but any user to the server logged out. FMS should be run at the log-out prompt on the server and this can have some impact on external drives.

Ron Cates Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Sorry, I was out of town for a few days. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Filemaker Server should be run at the log-out prompt on the server." As far as I know, all users log out at the end of the day.

Vaughan Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Steven means that the machine running FMS should be run with no users logged-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Cates Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 I made sure everyone was logged out at the end of the day yesterday. Still got the same error message today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Cates Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Looks like I have the situation resolved. I reformatted the drive and it works fine now. Not sure why but it is fixed. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
