I have recently installed Backup Exec 2010 on a standalone 2003 X64 Server box.. I have an Exchange agent activated to backup my exchange server. I do not have my tape library yet so for the moment I am looking to back up my exchange server to my Backup Exec Server's local drive. This is just temporary.
To accomplish this I created a Backup-to-disk item on the devices tab that points to a local folder. It is set for a maximum size of 500Gb. It is enabled and has a low disk threshold of 50GB set.
The drive in questiuon is the local drive on the Backup Exec computer. It is 1TB is sizw with 917GB free.
The backup job is set up to run a full backup, 'append to media, overwrite if no appendable media is available', I also made a custom media set which is set to Overwrite protection period of 1 hour, and the appendable period is set to 'Infinite - Allow Append'.
My first run earlier in the week went great with no errors. I then ran another full backup and it backed up about 336GB of data but failed with the following error message:
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have a space limit of 500GB set on the destination folder for the backup. It seems like the size was exceeded on the 2nd full backup but it was unable to delete the previous backup to make room for the new one. As I said the full backup is about 380GB.
Do you mean MAX BKF SIZE is set to 500GB? I would set this back to the default. I also agree that ALL B2D should be OVERWRITE not APPEND. \
Max Sets per file can be set to 10 or so, so that you do not waste too much space at the end fo the last BKF file of each job

If I set the full backup job to overwrite, can I keep more than one backup? I want to keep 2 full backups.
If you set the OPP for the media set to however long you want to retain data, then, yes you can keep the output from multiple jobs available.
When you say overwrite only, do you mean for incrementals too? Wouldn't that mean I only have 1 incremental backup?
Not if you set the OPP of the INCR media set properly. Say you want to keep 4 days of INCR and 3 sets of FULL. Set the INCR media set OPP to 3 days and the FULL media set OPP to 20 days
