images folder size is getting increased

Swamy

DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING IN HERE MANUALLY!!

db/images contains a list of ALL the files you have backed up. The db/images directory has a list of directories for clients and inside these are image files and headers. When you perform a restore, this is the directory that is interrogated.

If you delete anything in here you will not be able to restore the files that were held in that directory.

The reason it is getting big is because you are backing up more data and you probably have retention levels set to a high period, possibly infinity, so some images may NEVER expire.

You could look at catalog compression or catalog archiving to save space, but ultimately if you are backing up more data than you are expiring, you will eventually get to a point where it fills up again. Check your retentions in your policies.
