    Hello from Greece.Symantec installation files are in a disk  K:\  but i see that in os disk it is a folder that keeps data backup of symantec database.That file became really big and i want to control the size or to move to another disk.Is there any way to control size,move backup or delete it?

    In the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager console, click Admin.
    In the Admin page, click Servers.
    In the Admin page, under View, click the icon that represents the MS SQL or embedded database to be backed up.
    In the Admin page, under Tasks, click Edit Backup Settings
    you can select the number of backups you want to keep so that it will wutomatically delete the older backups.


    Or also you can follow this documet to change the folder for back file

    This is really strange

    HI Sir happytohelp may I ask if do we have an option to change the drive path of the database where the data has been save maybe it helps alot if they can change the path where they can store the database with a high capacity of disk.

    go to

    the folder where you have your manager installed
    open tomcat
    open etc
    open conf.propeties file
    Here you will find a line Backup line which tells where its getting backedup
