Disk Storage Properties - Backup data written
I have a 9TB drive which only has 188GB free. The drive shows in Backup Exec has having 4.64TB written. There is nothing but BE data on this drive. Is the "Backup data written" attribute supposed to reflect how much actual storage is used? I wonder if some BE files were left behind on the disk, but were deleted out of the BE database.
e: I see what seems to correspond to the backup data written attribute is the .bkf files in the BEData folder. The size matches up. There are IMG folders that are 1TB each. I see they are all for a server which does a full backup nightly, and are 1TB each. I do not see these on the backup sets tab on the disk properties.
IMG folders are related to GRT sets (and are your backup media for such systems) If you look in the expanded backup job logs of the servers concerned, you should see IMG media listed
BKF media is created when sets that don't involved GRT are created (although GRT sets can also create placeholder BKF files that are very small and should be re-used or deleted automatically by the system once they are not needed.)
