METHOD FOR STORING DATA ON A STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING LIMITED STORAGE CAPACITY

摘要

The invention relates to a method for storing data on a limited-capacity storage medium of a computer system. The inventive method comprises the following steps: buffer data files are stored on a storage medium, the available storage capacity of said storage medium is periodically monitored, the buffer data files are deleted and a warning is issued to the user(s) of the computer if the amount of available storage capacity falls below a first value. The size of the protocol data files can also be periodically monitore d. If the protocol data file values exceed a specific size, said protocol data files can backed-up on a separate storage medium, after which the protocol data files can be deleted.
