Now, that brings another question: in MsgServe.Config there is an 
entry: BackupDirExpiry=10 which presumably controls how long backup 
files are kept. But why 10 when I had lots of files in the Backup 
directory? What would be a more sensible figure? Is it the number of 
days? I think I'll try 2, and see whether that keeps it under control.

Best wishes,

Peter.
