Deleting Backup files
I want to delete some of my backup files. I am assuming that when I update my list, the script uses the backup file of last update. So is it okay to delete all previous file to free up some space on my server. Would there be a problem in doing so.

Nope. Just be sure to keep at least a few build worth of backup files. They are not used for Links 2 general running, but really just for files you can use if your database somehow gets corrupted. I have 200 backup files once, and it was amazing the amount of space they took up! Tongue

Thanks for the response guys. Andy, you are wright about the space these files take up. I was looking through my directory recently and that was when I thought I have to it. Thanks again for the input.
