This article is for Amanda Enterprise (AE)

In some cases the Zmanda Windows Client (ZWC) database grows larger than the available disk space. This can be addressed in two ways: Uninstall/Reinstall ZWC on a drive with more space or move the database to a different drive. To move it to a different drive. To do this, follow the below steps:

  1. Stop “ZWC Service” in the Services panel of Windows
  2. Create a new directory
  3. Copy the contents of the existing C:\Program Files\Zmanda\Zmanda Client for Windows – Server Edition(x64)\Database\data directory to this new directory/drive
  4. Edit my.ini file which is located in C:\Program Files\Zmanda\Zmanda Client for Windows – Server Edition(x64)\Database and add the below line under the mysqld section
    • datadir = path of the new directory
    • e.g.: datadir=E:\MySQLdata
  5. Start “ZWC Service” in the Services panel
