Server running out of space

Hi all!

We have a weird scenario here - we have some backups job with a data retention of 6 days. For some odd reason there was a time that when the server ran out of storage, old jobs would have been expired automatically and as a result storage was reclaimed. Now suddenly the server is running out of storage (ending up with around 17.9mb!!) and the jobs end up on HOLD.

At that point we have to manually expire the oldest backup sets for the jobs to proceed. Can someone help us out please?

You may want to check your global settings and the backup job settings.  These are outlined in this article on how data lifecycle management (DLM) deletes expired backup sets on disk-based storage:  https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.HOWTO99585

Hope that helps.
