NBU 7.6.0.3
overnight i have this Oracle backup that failed in the early hours of the morning. it has already backup almost 1TB of data when it failed (due to missing archive). i have cancelled the retried job and manually started a fresh one.
for the partial backup images that were already done, how can i prevent dedup from using them and also how to free up the disk space consumed by them?
regards,
Rino

You should expire the image and reclaim the disk space
You should take a look at the below technote

i have a separate (to me it seems separate) /NBU directory where hd backup images are supposed to go before being dedup to tape. however, i found that when /NBU hd space increases, so does my root partition.
/NBU partition have 9TB free space but root partition only have 77GB so i'm worried during backups the root partition gets smaller.
how do i prevent this root from getting smaller during backups? or what's taking up the space during backup?

If you do:
df -h
...is the /NBU path listed as a separate entitity?
If it is not listed as a separate entity then it is part of the root file system of "/".
Changing this should not be attempted if you have not changed such things before. My advice would be to get an experienced sys admin at your site to help you plan your change(s).

sizing was done 3 years ago. but data has grown since then. i'm thinking if i can find out the directories used by catalog, logs, and all those dynamic files i can relocate them to the 9TB partition using symlinks. that way i don't have to reinstall anything.
