John W Van Dyke 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2014 Hi Again, I seem to be again having problems with TMG reducing drastically in size doing backups. I have moved TMG to a new computer, Windows 8, not tied to the internet, has no virus protection and very few other programs. I start out with a back up size of 36,129 KB. When, after making sure ALL my strings refer to the specific computer and location I start the backup, the file size ends up as 3,839 KB! Anyone have any suggestions? TIA, John Van Dyke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Hannah 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2014 John, The most obvious suggestion is to check your backup options. I suspect that one included exhibits and the other did not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for including and not for exhibits, I always make sure I don't include exhibits nor DNA. My backups always is the same. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2014 The DNA Log data is in a data table so there is no way to not include DNA results recorded in TMG. The DNA Fingerprint templates are customizations and should never be backed up unless customized since the program provides the default templates. They are so small that they would not affect the size of a backup in any appreciable way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
