Hello
I usually backup Sierra Chart by copying the Sierrachart folder.
Last time I noticed that the size had greatly increased to 60 GB.
How can I reduce the size?
Thanks

When you perform a backup, if it is not difficult, exclude the files with a scid extension.

Is the only location for scid files located in SierraChart>Data?
Also I could delete the scid files in the backup / copy?

Yes that is correct. They are only in the Data subfolder.

Yes you could delete the Intraday data scid files from the backup.
