Hi,

we have some issue on a c: drive of a vm backuped by veeam.

Actualy, the c: drive contain a folder name backup on c:\ProgramData\Veeam, this folder take 19Gb on the system disk. So the c: drive is almost full.

So my question is: can i remove the files contains on the folder backup. If yes how i process?

for information the files contained on backup folder are named like that:
VeeamOibIndexer_XXXXXXXX.log or VeeamVixProxy_XXXXXXXX.log

Best regards

Yes, these log files can be safely removed, they are only used when Support needs to investigate errors. Some older versions of the software had bugs that resulted in larger than expected log files, or log files not being cleaned up. If you encounter either problem in the current version, please open a support case.

It might be also worth checking logging level in the registry. Sometimes it happens that level 6 (the most detailed one) is left in the registry after support investigation which leads to a lot of logs being produced. Thanks.
