RE: Deleting PTF *SAVF to clear disk space

If there has been no one taking care of this system, I am going to guess it
has been a long time since an IPL.

On our system on a week over week shows disk usage growth of only about 1/4
to 1/3 of a percent, but our Monday to Friday growth approaches 4%. We IPL
over the weekend and we get most of the M-F growth back. I am wondering how
much disk space might be gained by a simple IPL if it has been a very long
time since the last one. (With proper backups completed of course.)

A system that old, I would be scared of running without backups. Loose a
drive and one may not be able to locate a replacement (and that is just one
thing that could go wrong). But, I am guessing you know that.
