How to modify the Java heap size setting on the Desktop version
To modify the Java heap size of the Desktop installation on Windows / macOS, amend the following files:
Windows:
c:\program files\desktopbackup\config.ini
c:\program files\desktopbackup\bin\RunCB.bat

${Desktop-Install-Home}/config.ini
${Desktop-Install-Home}/bin/RunCB.sh
Windows: Open the ‘config.ini’ and ‘RunCB.bat’ files with a text editor:
macOS: Open the ‘config.ini’ and ‘RunCB.sh’ files with a text editor:
Note:
In the above examples, the value 2048 is the current Java heap size (in MB).
Amend the line by changing the value to 4096 (value in MB) (depending on the amount of free system memory available) so the line will appear similar to the example as follows:
Windows: Open the ‘config.ini’ and ‘RunCB.bat’ files with a text editor:
macOS: Open the ‘config.ini’ and ‘RunCB.sh’ files with a text editor:
Save the changes, then restart the scheduler service.
