    1. Expire images backed up to the disk pool via NetBackup
    2. Check the Dedupe Storage queue folder. You should see lots of tlogs ready for processing
      ls -l /disk/queue/
    3. Run CR queue processing
      /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --processqueue
    4. Monitor processing progress by checking the storage log
      tail -f /disk/log/spoold/storaged.log
    5. Run Garbage collection
      /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcollect -v -m +1,+2  (crcollect is found in NetBackup versions prior to 7.6)
    6. Check the Dedupe Storage queue folder. If you see some tlogs for processing, repeat steps 3 through 5.
    7. Check the "used" and "Space available within containers" values in the following command
      /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --dsstat
    8. If dsstat showed a high value for "Space needs compaction", run compaction processing
      /usr/openv/pdde/pdcr/bin/crcontrol --compactstart
