You can't do what you're asking.  If I understand you correctly you want to do a rollover when your vault store partition reaches (say) 100 Gb.  

The two options you have are :

* When there is a specific percentage of space available on the partition.  eg 10% .. meaning when there is only 10% free space left on the partition, a rollover will occur.
* When there is a specific amount of space available on the partition, eg when there is 250 Gb left do a rollover.

The reason we can't do it based on the amount of space you've used is because there is no easy way to find that out, save trawling every single file in every single folder (like when you right click on a folder and go to properties and watch Windows counting the amount of space used)....

Hope that helps,

Not 100% true.
You could do it for NTFS drives, but they would have to be used *only* for exactly one Vault Store.
Try right clicking a drive in explorer and chooe properties.
The size calculation ("used space") is not built by going over every file. :)

OR

you could use your very own vault store database to calculate the size.
Remember that usage.asp? It already does 95% of the work required :) :) :)

Just my 2 cents :)

Yes Michel you are correct.. but it has to be one partition per drive.. which _most_ customers probably don't do.  I'm not sure how exact usage.asp is compared with file-sizes-on-disk, but it would be a good place to go for yes.

How I have done this is to use multiple disk partitions (In my case 820GB as I wanted 800GB partitions).

I have mounted these into a folder (So mounted into D:\VaultStore\PNT001 .... PTN005) and created 5 partitions in the vault store and use rollover at 20GB free.

It does require a lot of volumes but not a lot of drive letters.

Hope this helps.
