Why am I getting a warning about storage capacity and/or faulty data backup when I log in to Bp Event?

If you log in to Bp Event as a user, you will receive a warning if there are problems with the data backup and/or insufficient storage capacity on the server or at the individual workstation. Problems of this kind jeopardise your data security must be addressed. For this reason, each individual user receives a warning, which cannot be deactivated.

Did your data backup not run?

The data backup is configured once and then performed automatically at regular intervals. If problems occur during the data backup, this must not go unnoticed.

The following meassages alert you to faulty data backup:

  • Data backup failed, job not executed yet
  • The data backup was last performed on DD.MM.YYYY
  • Data backup failed, faulty execution on DD.MM.YYYY
  • Data backup failed, no job found

Please contact our Bp Event Support to check the problem. Read more on

Is your storage capacity on the local PC too low?

The size of the database and the storage space occupied by other applications on your PC can grow considerably over time. In the worst case, insufficient storage space can lead to a damaged database or data loss. To ensure that insufficient storage capacity for data growth and data backups does not go unnoticed, the capacity is checked when the user logs on.

The following alert is shown when the storage capacity is too low
Too little space on the drive of this computer

Free up storage space by deleting unnecessary files or moving them to another storage location.

Is your storage capacity on the server too low?

The size of the database and therefore the required storage space can grow considerably over time. To ensure that insufficient storage capacity for data backups and a consequent risk of damaged files does not go unnoticed, the server's available storage space is checked when the user logs on to the client. The notice is shown in yellow or red depending on the urgency.

The minimum storage capacity can be calculated as follows:
Required free storage space = (number of backups + 1)* size of data file

The following alerts are shown when the storage capacity is too low

  • Too little space on the server drive C: x GB instead of x GB
    Note: < 1.5 times the data file (incl. index) yellow, < 30% of the data file red
  • Too little space on the server system drive C: x GB instead of x GB
    Note: < 5 GB red, < 10 GB yellow

Why does a warning appear if the available storage space is less than 1.5 times the size of the data file?

In the event of a crash or a corrupted data file, the Bp Event Server automatically restores the last data backup with the next restart. This behaviour significantly reduces administrative effort and downtime.

To ensure that this automatic recovery can be carried out successfully in the event of an error, we recommend always providing at least 1.5 times the size of the data file as free storage space on the server. This storage space is required on the same drive partition on which the Bp Event Server was installed.
