Hello Support,
One more query for your help.
Has anyone used SSR 2013 on a Synology NAS device?
I noticed that the SSR does not remove the old backups and this fills up the storage.
I have to manually delete the old backups to create space for new backups.
What can i do to resolve this?
I greatly appreciate all the help from the forum.
changed to C:\>cd \\16.10.x.x\extstor ad_ssr
You should first map a drive to the directory. Then change into it and run the dir command.

The directory listing you provided shows 2 backup sets - 008 and 009. This appears correct according to your comments earlier.
Are the full backups (v2i file extension) correct according to the schedule you are using?
Am I missing something here...??
I have 2 backup sets alright. But when the next base is to run, it does not remove the old sets. i have to manually delete to create space.
In the manage destination i already selected Automatically optimize disk storage.
i believe when i set a threshold of 500GB for instance, it should delete the old backup and start another base when it is about to exceed the threshold.
Rather than the manual deletion.
The recovery points just stops altogether and i hv missed backup notifications whenever i login to the server.

When was the last time this happened?
Please provide the following log files:
