Hi Jonathan Quinn,
We have a situation where we are running weekly full backups (using webgisdr) and daily incrementals, but the C:\<portal_dir>\backup\walarchive folder is not being cleaned up after a webgisdr full backup. This is chewing up the available C:\ space and we have been manually purging some of these files that are over 60 days.
Per the Common problems and solutions—Portal for ArcGIS (10.8) | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise The portal content directory has grown to several gigabytes in size
Once you run a backup using the webgisdr tool, this limit is removed, but the transaction logs are cleared each time the tool is run.
We have a few ArcGIS Enterprise deployments, and this is the only one causing problems. It is also the only environment we (unsuccessfully) attempted a portal content C:\ to D:\ migration... so I suspect the situation is that the webgisdr utility is trying to purge the D:\<portal_dir>\backup\walarchive instead of the C:\ location... thus leaving these behind for us to have to clean up manually. GeoNet reference to that thread - https://community.esri.com/message/904321-re-moving-arcgis-portal-directories#comment-929961
Thoughts on this issue? I suspect the suggestion will be to open a new support case (referencing the support case and bug logged on the referenced thread).
Thanks!
