Good morning. I've seem to run into a snag when my 'hot backups' occur. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have a daily backup of our /public/ directory in case my tape drive goes bad again. This way while I'm troubleshooting the tape drive problem, I'll have a 'spare' daily backup of our data. So after creating a 500GB partition on the SAN unit, I setup a folder on the drive and created a B2D folder and a 'Job Setup' with the following options:
** Selection**
Selection -> /public/
** Priority and Availability **
Priority -> Highest
** Destination **
Device -> B2D Folder
Media Set -> Daily
When this job begins -> Overwrite Media
** General **
Backup Method -> Full - Using archive bit (reset archive bit)
** Advanced **
Advanced -> Back up files and directories by following junction points
** Schedule **
Schedule -> Everyday - 9pm
After reviewing the logs this morning I found that the folder directory did not overwrite any files but created new 4GB files until the job ran out of space. Yesterday I had previously ran a test backup on the job and the backup was 330GB which fit in the folder. All the job did yesterday was add more files from the backup job.
Question -- Is there a way to automatically delete all the files in the folder so I will not have to worry about running out of space? Thanks..
