Guest Don Jones Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Is there a way to change the backup diretory used by OS Hotfixes/Service Packs without having to run the hotfixes/Service Packs Manually? We install all of our patches via Windows Update or SUS. Our system drive is getting low on space due to the backup directory getting full. I would like to relocate the backup directory to drive d: or e: Thanks. Don Jones
Guest Meinolf Weber (Myweb) Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: Change the hotifx backup directory Hello Don, I don't think so, maybe you can change the registry key for every patch to point to the new location but will be a lot fo work. But think about the deletion of the uninstall folder's. If you have now problems after patching, why should theire be a reason for keeping them?

Guest Mathieu CHATEAU Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: Change the hotifx backup directory Hello, you also look at the pagefile, which may be moved to another partition You may get rid of old hotfix, installed a long time ago and that didn't break your system. You may also check if you have a memory dump: c:\windows\memory.dmp -- Cordialement, Mathieu CHATEAU http://lordoftheping.blogspot.com "Don Jones" <DonJones@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F8771744-CB39-4410-8823-0CF95E83F7B1@microsoft.com... > Is there a way to change the backup diretory used by OS Hotfixes/Service > Packs without having to run the hotfixes/Service Packs Manually? > > We install all of our patches via Windows Update or SUS.
