Hello Community,
I am dangerously running out of space on our Enterprise hard drive and noticed there is large DUMP file in the Datastore directory (see attached). Are these files safe to delete? I appreciate your help.
The date of that dump file is 7/24/2024. By any chance did you do a backup of the ArcGIS Data Store on that date? Or do an ArcGIS Enterprise upgrade on that date? That is where Esri stores files related to backing up the ArcGIS Data Store. That is essentially a backup that can be used to restore the ArcGIS Data Store.
Only you and your organization will be able to determine if it is "safe" to delete. You'll need to refer to your disaster recovery policy to determine that. But from a data store operational standpoint, it should be safe to delete. I'd recommend deleting it using the "Esri approved" way by using the data store command tools. Specifically, you can use the deletebackup command here: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/data-store-utility-reference.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_3E958A91D1AB4FD4B18D009CB706B65F
If you follow the instructions for the deletebackup command, you can confirm if it is an ArcGIS Data Store backup. And if it is, you should be able to delete it using that command.
