Disk storage unit is full(129) after duplication

Greetings dears!

In NetBackup 7.5 Master Server, I have a Storage Unit with:

Type: Disk
Disk Type: BasicDisk
High Water mark 90%
Low water mark 80%
In Staging Schedule:
storage unit: Tape_Library
volume pool: Full_Pool

The Storage Unit is 9.1 TB in size with 300GB free. All images currently in this unit are duplicated to tapes.
The images have a retension policy of 3 weeks. All of them are created during these 3 weeks, not before!

I now try in this unit to create an image (through manual backup process) of approx 600GB. The job exits with error 129 (Disk Storage Unit full)

Since all images are duplicated to tapes, shouldn't some of them get cleaned up from the disk to free space for the next image to come? Have i misconfigured something?

Thank you for in advance for your answers!

Best regards!

    I think the best way to do this is with SLP, and select the option "Expire after copy" under retention type.

    Can you actually see the duplications running on a regular basis?

    Please ensure that the following log folders exist under netbackup\logs on the master/media server:

    admin
    bptm
    bpdm 

    admin log will contain  duplication start times and info about each image being duplicated.
    bptm will log backup and duplication activitities.
    bpdm will log cleanup activities.

    Can you show/tell us the stagning schedule (configured in the storage unit properties) ?

        What is in Start Window tab?
        Duplications every 6 hours can only run during open windows (similar to backup schedules).
