Network Management

My IMC server started throwing space messages recently.  I researched this and saw that I could reduce space usage in the dbmanbak directory by changing the number of days to keep these files.  I changed from the default 7 to 4.  My question is can I go ahead and delete the older files now to free up space.  I suspect that I can, but I just want to verify that this will not cause issues with either IMC or the backup functionality.

Hello there,

I guess you are using the automated backup option on Enviroment tab from DMA.If you configure the system to keep the files for 4 days instead of 7 , which is the default , it should automatically delete the files , which are older than 4 days.
If this does not happen , please check the permissions on dbmanbak folder and grant permissions for all users. Possibly the system has no permissions to delete older files from this folder.

Thank you!  That is exactly what I needed to know.
