Long-term IDB maintenance
The IDB files are located in the following directories:
• Unix:
/var/opt/omni/server/db40/
• Windows 2000/2003/XP:
C:\Program Files\OmniBack\db40
• Windows Vista/2008:
C:\Program Data\OmniBack\db40
IDB Purge preview
It is recommended to turn off the automatic purge preview scheduled at 12:30 PM. The purge
preview uses a lot of RDS processing power.
To turn it off, set the option
DbPurgeCheck=0 in the global options file on the cell server:
• UNIX: /
etc/opt/omni/server/options/global
• Windows:
C:\Program Files\OmniBack\Config\Server\Options
