Full Hard disk, need delete something old backup files.

In backup exec console go to devices tab and select backup to disk folder. right click on old backup set (b2d files) errase them.

thanks,

Hello XuanP,
   Check the Media set used in the backup job. As the drive is getting full ensure that the Overwrite Protection Period (OPP) selected in the properties of the Media set is set to low value then the current value.

OPP is the time till the backup sets will not be overwritten.

...the only way to fix this is to actually check your Append/OPP settings on the media set and make sure you're retaining the *.bkf files for as long as you need. No sense in wasting disk space by filling it up if you can't retain as many "roll-backs" as you need.

Thanks!

After over 01 week  the D:\Driver is full, I testing the backup file increate over 70GB for every 01 day . Now i need solution delete or setting to get space at D:\drive , i want backup file only 500 GB ?

Go to the Media tab and set the OPP of the media set that is targeted by your job to 6 days.  This will result in 7 backup sets which will total around 490 GB.  BE will re-use the space used by the expired media.

Also, go to Tools ---> Options and set the circled options

Hi Pro !

In BE i don't see devices tab, Where i can access the Devices Tab ?

Thanks!

...you're misleading everyone here with your information. You've tagged the query with Backup Exec 12.x, mentioned installing BE 12.5, but then posted a screenshot of BE 2012...which version is the correct version?

Thanks!

Hello XuanP,
    From the screenshots its understood that you are using BE 2012 and not BE 12.5 as mentioned before.
In BE 2012 you must have defined in the backup job itself for how long you want to keep the data before it is overwritten or deleted. So go to backup job properties and change that value to lower days.

For now to clear the older backup sets go to the propreties of the Disk Storage in the Backup exec console>> Storage tab and then go to Backup Sets. Here you can delete the backup sets that you want.

Looking at the date you can delete the older one.

Thanks,

Dear Sush.

Thank you for your support

- I'm Sorry ! My Exec Backup is 2012 . In Backup set of Store i see many snapshot with big file . How to prevent snapshort ?

In

...you can't. BE will use VSS to snapshot the Exchange Information Store, but make sure that AOFO is turned off in the job either way.

Thanks!

Hello XuanP,
    Those are not the snapshots but are the backup sets which are taken using the snapshot feature. To  free up the space you will have to delete these backup sets. As already said, please check the dates when the backup was taken and accordingly delete the older one.

To delete just right click on the required backup set and select Delete.

Thanks,
