What files can I delete for upkeep?

[Gothstaff]

In order to clean up my campaign data, which files can I delete?
I'm under the impression that all of those db.session.<#>.xml files, though I don't want to risk corrupting my campaign by doing so.

Also, can I delete the moduledb xml files that remained of modules I already removed?

any other files I may have missed that are removable for upkeep?

Thanks!

The db.session.*.xml files are new, and are a daily backup created each day that you start a session. I haven't built an automatic cleanup of those yet, because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with that. I'm thinking we'll build a 30-day cleanup at some point.

When doing this MW - if possible it would be nice if that were an option or the cleanup was a manual thing. I think the backups are a great thing. Quite a few groups only play monthly though or rotate through different games etc.

I would recommend a setting that control how many backups of a campaign are kept rather than a number of days. I would personally think 10 would be more than enough and I would probably set my own at 5.

And while we're throwing things out there, an option to backup to a custom location and restore from a custom location. I've seen quite a few posts by folks that lost all their campaign because they weren't aware or didn't think to back it up. A gentle, but not mandatory, reminder might help prevent some of that.

I'll go check out the Wish List and see if that is on the list.

I was thinking minimum of 10 and then only delete ones older than 30 days once over the minimum. I'd rather do something automatic.

minimum 10 and 30 days seems a reasonable compromise :)

Sounds conservative, which in this case means good.
