disk full or database full

1

Trying to have eMClient store back up on my 4TB hard drive (D:) and I get Disk full (which it definitely is not) or database full (I do have a lot of emails - is there a size limit??).  My eMClient is installed on C drive which is a SSD and I wish to store the backups on D which is a HDD.  I changed the backup directory and create a new eMClient folder on D in which to store the backup. 

Help

I get this error message

Hi Ed,

You can check the eM Client database storage in Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Storage. The backup storage can be set in Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Backup.
However, this error probably relates to eM Client database storage on your C: drive. I’d recommend checking the storage of your C: drive.

Thanks for the response, Russel.  eMclient seems to be working well otherwise. It is installed on my 250GB SSD C drive, but I wanted to store the backup on my 4TB HHD to conserve space on my smaller C drive.  I did create a folder for the back up and changed the link to that drive and folder.  My email file is in the G bit range so thought perhaps it was just more than eMClient could handled.  But don’t know for sure as I have not found anything on a database or backup size limit.

here is my setting for backup:

D:\Users\Computer\Documents\eM Client

Hi Ed,

eM Client has no size limit on database or backup and these can be stored on any local disk.

In my case, a similar message caused a disk failure - and then a corrupted database.

But other cause - temporary files is in user temp folder, typically on drive C (echo %TEMP%). And free size must be similar to database size.
