Title: Safe to delete arsdbarc folder content?
Post by: obaltus on February 06, 2025, 05:39:35 AM
Hi,

The CMOD instance is back up every night using the db2 backup command (offline). Is it safe to remove the content of the arsdbarc folder after the backup is taken? 

Thanks for your help,

We don't have enough information on your system design to answer the question.  That's not a standard folder name (as per the Installation Guide) so we don't know what's being stored in there.

Hello Justin,

Thanks for your help.  The arsdbarc folder is stored under the ARS_DB2_ARCHIVE_LOGPATH registry key in Windows. This folder contains hundreds of LOG files which seems to be related to Archived Transaction logs of the db.

I'd like to know if I can delete this folder files.

That adds some clarity, but unfortunately we still can't answer your question, because we don't know what your site's backup strategy is, and if it relies on being able to access these files to complete a database restore to a particular point in time.  You'll have to determine this with the help of your in-house database administrators and enterprise backup teams.
