[Help] On DB Baks

[bhudz30]

Hi all i just need some knowledge about my
DBbaks..
a little question On my DB baks folder i have the ff. files in it
MU2003_EVENT_DATA
MuOnline
MuOnline_Data1
MuOnline_Log1
Ranking

I have no idea whats the MuOnline_Log1 is for?
It ate up a big space in my HD around 12g
can someone explain to me what is this for?
Is it ok for me to DELETE this?

Also when i will try delete... is says

"Cannot delete MuOnline_Log1: it is used by another program"
I know the reason is my server is still running but
is it associated with something ?..
is it ok to delete it after closing the server?



Thanks in advance

NO i mean my server is now working fine...working for almost 2weeks now
Its that i just notice it this pass days my DBbaks is getting larger
So think might post it here first and ask suggestion on prop in MU
before doing something with it

man this 2 files for DB, dont delete it !!
y can shrink it !!
go to sql mng> MuOnline > All Tasks > Shrink DB

Also, Dont forget to (everyday) right click on the database --> alltasks--> Backup Database, incase something happens with your server.'

Then, you can just use those DB.Baks in the Refresh of Serverfiles, and Fix ure server without losing any accounts :P

OMG .. i mees up my server hahahaha

I delete the said files and KABOOM
Enterprises/Data/Muonline ... gone
all gone..

Phew.. sure thing the backup helps a lot
Now back online

Before there is a GUIDE on how to remove Log without doing any harm on the database but its a OLD guide..
Hope someone will do another one..

MSQL/data/MuOnline_log <<<<< this one has 12g of space eaten
