NetBackup PureDisk Pool - Segments folder

Hi all, 

We have a PureDisk pool which fills up rather quickly. On inspection there is a Segments folder (\history\segments) on the PureDisk media server which has over 100GB of data. 

I haven't been able to find much information on what the data is used for, or if I can safely move or delete the data.

Is anyone able to shed some light on this?

Thanks!

    Hi Cart,

    The history folder is maintained to keep a track of SO\DO(SegmentObjects\DataObjects - Dedupe related components) for RCA in case if there are any corruptions on the Dedupe Storage.

    You can zip/tar the history\segments folder and move it to an alternate location, we would not recommend to delete it.

    Please let us know if you need any further information.

    Thanks and Regards,
