Subject: [otrs] storage fs in file system
 
Hi all, i have my otrs configured with the variable Ticket::StorageModule: to ArticleStorageFS to archive all attachments in a filesystem instead of in a database. It permits to me to work with a database with a “normal” size.
 
The problem became with the number of files that otrs creates, i Have around 2,7 milion of files and 196 GB . The number of files is very high and now the backup takes more than 50 hours.
 
For every ticket ( with out attach) the system creates 3 files :
 
-          file-1
-          file-1.content_type
-          plain.txt
 
for every attach the system adds 1 content_type file more and the attach.
 
The text in the content type files is:
 
Text/plain; charset = cp1252 or us-ascii
  
Do you know how to reduce the number of files ?

There is no out-of-the-box option to reduce the number of files.

But I wonder why you backup everything in every backup run.
Wouldn’t it make sense to use an incremental or differential backup method with that amount of data?

You could actually run a backup-to-disk with multi-instance jobs and a weekly backup-to-tape full job…

Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards
