I have run out of disc space

[sawxray]

I have been using Espionage for approximately four months, and find it easy to use, with two problems. The first is the most pressing:

I am almost out of disc space.

I use Espionage for one program, namely DevonThink Pro, which contains most of my data. I use Espionage to encrypt the database folder, which contains six databases. I also use the backup function of Espionage, utilizing 'Enable Automatic Backup...'. I then use TM to backup my entire HD to a RAID NAS, and use an off-site cloud storage/backup system (iDrive) just in case of fire, theft, etc.

Tonight I found that my HD is almost full. I used Grand Perspective to check on what files are occupying my HD and found the two largest are:

Documents/My Data/Computer/Mac/.DEVONthink Pro Office Data.sparsebundle
Documents/My Data/Computer/Mac/EspionageBackups/Scott/-1732614186/DEVONthink Pro Office Data.sparsebundle

I do not understand the process in great detail, but the two files listed take up almost 55 GB of my HD.

How can I work around this?

Also a smaller issue is that whenever I close this program, I get an error that backups failed (error 15, I believe). If I then run backup again, it succeeds.

Thanks for any advice.

I just reproduced the error. From the console:

Is this helpful?

Thanks

That seems to be a problem unrelated to disk space. I would try deleting the contents of the EspionageBackups directory and starting the backups over.

[sawxray]

I deleted the prior backup files. I then started and completed a new backup. I then got the same error:

9/15/10 2:44:32 PM Espionage[37518] Initializer-based scripting additions have been deprecated. Please update this addition: "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax"

What shall I try next?

Hmm.. that list of entries contains no errors from Espionage relevant to this problem, the only line related to Espionage there is a message from the Adobe Unit Types.osax scripting addition, which seems like it was improperly setup by Adobe.

Try initiating the backup again, if it doesn't work look for log entries related to the problem, including anything from "rsync".

You may also want to try the utility to remove ACLs and make the EspionageBackups directory readable, writable, and executable to all users (and all subdirectories).

I let everything else settle, and then with nothing going on I opened the Console, and tried the backup from the menu. I got the following:

I am fairly confident this is related to the backup effort. Does this help?

I am no longer getting the error messages-hooray!

Unfortunately, I am no longer getting the Growl messages that backup completed successfully.
