RiGuruArchive folder contains a copy of every object in the Guru repository that has been saved locally. The ~/RiGuruArchive folder is located in the root home directory, along side ~/RiApps and ~/RiGuru directories (Drive-D on the EPC, /home/guru on Linux). This redundant 2nd copy is only used by Guru automatically when the 1st copy was not written successfully by the operating system (0 bytes or digital signature failure), specifically intended for Cassini EPCs without server grade SSD. Guru Server version 74.36 introduced an option to disable this feature. This also doubles the storage requirements and, as of Guru Server version 74.35, the RiGuruArchive folder does not seem to expire objects as expected so it will continue to grow until all storage is used.



As of Feb 2022, Cassini Virtual Workstations (vbox) and Guru Server running on Linux has not been affected by a corrupted write and so, if disk storage capacity is a concern, this feature should be manually disabled by following the steps below. RI recommends leaving this enabled on Cassini EPCs.
