From the Auctioneer FAQ



Q12: I just started seeing this message in my chat logs, what does it mean? Your Auctioneer SavedVariables file is XX.XXX% Full
A: That message is new with the 3.9 release, and tells you how close your auctioneer saved data is to the maximum number of "keys" allowed by LUA, the script language used by WoW. When that number gets to 100%, you will be unable to load your Auctioneer data any more (getting a "constant data overflow" error on logging in). For the moment, the only thing you can do to help keep this number low is try to scan a smaller number of realm-factions on any one account - our experience has been that you shouldn't reach the limit if you only scan a single server-faction, though a small number of users have mentioned that they are getting close.



Note: Versions prior to 1411 may have been artificially increasing the size of your SV file. Please upgrade to the latest version, especially if you are seeing this problem.



If you have previously scanned data for realms/factions you no longer care about, you can purge that data by doing the following:



First back up your saved variables data;
Then log onto a character on a server-faction you wish to delete (creating one first if necessary);
Do an "/auc clear all";
Log out and repeat for any other server-factions you no longer need.
You can also try manually editing some data out of your data file, but this is a very delicate operation and is only recommended if you've already reached 100% and can no longer even load Auctioneer. BE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR DATA FILE FIRST!



If all else fails, you'll have to start over, I'm afraid.

The information was a great help. I always wondered about this but, could you tell me how to backup my data.

Just make a back up copy of your WTF folder. Itll back up configurations from your add ons. More specifically, you can find the .lua for auctioneer in your saved variables folder in your account folder and your character folder. One saves global settings and one for character specifics.
