Backup-To-Disk: Event 58058 - Just move bkf files?
So, I have filled a 2.7TB space and BE is paused, unable to backup anymore.
What are my options to clear up space without any loss of information?
I'm not sure this is wise, but I basically want to archive the older physical backup files, but retain the information as-is in BE. I don't want to delete/overwrite the backup files/media; I need to keep the backups for archival reasons. I don't have tape.
Can I bypass BE and physically move some the oldest bkf files from the actual folder to a separate (removable) drive, without involving BE? I'm naively assuming that I can move the files, and if I somehow need to restore anything, I can simply plug the appropriate drive back in and copy the needed bkf file back on the active array for BE to access? Or, will the abscence of bkf files confuse and bewilder BE?
