Let\'s investigate it more !

First wich is your operating system ?
How much free space do you have ( disk and partitition ) ?
Which is the size of your document ?
In temporary folder you can create this document, because some great file are first created in your temporary folder path ?

Can I see the log error message ( only the error please, not all the log file )

Ok forget the error message.

I just want an answer to the openkm where is save to.

Is the openkm saves all the files in directory or only put it Link t

Depeding how you\'ve got configured repository.xml, by default is configured to store blob archives in your hard disk ( because has better performance when user downloads documents, on database configuration for example there\'s some time to put document on disk before downloading, etc... )

Hello,

I have the same kind of problem. I have a large arborescence of files that I\'d like to put into openKM. They already are on the PC that runs OpenKM. How do I configure it not to copy everything in blob files (I guess it\'s those cXXX.dat files) but just using links ?
Maybe it\'s impossible, maybe it\'s very simple, the problem is I\'m a total newbee...

Thank you very much in advance !

(The PC is running XP pro)

You can not link external files out of the repository, the idea is files are into the repository, it\'s mandatory. You can not do it, files must be inserted in OpenKM. When it\'ll be inserted you can drop your actual files to delete unnecessary hard disk space used. Files must be controled by OpenKM not by your operating system, it must be done in this way to get integrity data in other cases could be strange issues and desincronizations. You must use importing utility on administration / general

Hope this answer your question ?

Thank you very much for this fast reply that corresponds to my question.
So OK, I need to put everything in the repository and I even can delete the \"original\" files and folders. But if for some reason OpenKM crashes or is out of use, I\'ll be alone with the .dat files, needing to repair OpenKM before being able to use them again... So I\'m strongly dependent on OpenKM health.

Then the next question is: Is there some way to periodically make an backup of the repository ? For instance make it download every night the entire arborescence into a remote drive, so that I would be able to access the files without openKM in case of emergency ?

Thanks a lot !

You can export the repository documents and structure using Administration -> Utilities -> Export. But there is no automatic export mechanism so some programming is needed.
 #3272  by jllort
 
Well the problem is not where you got files; directly on your hard disk or in OpenKM the question is that you really need to make \"always\" some backup. In OpenKM case we suggest rsync if you\'re in a linux environment.You are always dependant of a backup !!! always .
 #3279  by matthiafox
 
Right, I indeed have a backup program doing fine on my PC. But in this case my problem is not where the files are, but in which format... A .pdf is pretty easy to open and read, but a .dat repository file, no matter how well it has been backed up, still needs OpenKM to be used. I can\'t afford relying on this single program to be able to access these data.

\"Unfortunately\" I\'m running windows (XP pro), so if you have any idea of how to make a periodic export of the repository (so that I get the real files) it would be great !

Thanks

There\'re several ways to make a backup in windows, some comertial. Some oriented to backup entire server ( all operating system for example ) or other simply to synchronize files between environments ( similar to rsync ). I suggest you take a look on some of this both directions, the second seems more easy and cheapest than the first. I can not suggest a program, because last time I use something like it on windows was 3 year ago and three years is so much time. You must do some testings with programs, really not more it\'ll be easy to you to find programs with lower cost that synchronizes files in windows environments ( remote networks ).
