if backup size shrinks, do backup to disk folders shrink as well?
I have a Backup To Disk folder that I back up multiple servers to. If I remove a server from my backup, thus shrinking my total backup size, can I expect the Backup To Disk folder to shrink at the next backup completion (it's set to overwrite)? Or must something be done to free up that disk space taken by the media files?
Thanks!
Media will not be automatically deleted, it will become overwritable and than during the next overwrite
operation the overwritable media will be used for backups. To free up the disk space you will have to
delete the older bkf files. For better utilization of disk make the following changes.
1) Click on Tools->Options->Media Management-> Select "use recyable media before using scratch
media"
2) Always configure disk backup to overwrite instead of appending.
