My database grew to be almost a gig. I need to purge it somehow. Any tips?
 
What version of Arcserve are you using and on what OS? Is either Arcserve or OS patched in any way? -----------------------------------------------------

Arcserve 2000 SP2. Windows NT4 SP6a with various hotfixes.
 
From CA support web site:
11/08/01 Q: How do I clear my ARCserve VLDB of records? I would like to initialize it, but don't know how.

A: Go into the ARCserve Server Admin: Start --> Programs --> ARCserve --> ARCserve Server Admin. Highlight the Database Engine tab and from the Operation menu select Initialize Database. You can either initialize all of the databases or separate parts of it. REMEMBER! Initializing your database will clear ALL rotation job information, as well as all of your session information.
