Re: Backup Exec 2010 Disc Space Usage with VSphere 4.1
Thanks for the comments, I have looked through the C Drive and there is 22Gb used in this directory, far and away the largest folder on C. Each backup set creates these files so we get maybe 6 sets of these every day, hence the space usage. I will look to exclude this directory ready for tonight's backup and see what happens. If these are tidied up, then I will look at removing files from this directory. Thanks for the advice, Dave387Views0likes0CommentsBackup Exec 2010 Disc Space Usage with VSphere 4.1
Hi. I have inherited a Windows 2008 Backup Exec 2010 installation from my predecessor. This is used to backup VM's on our Estate, I have noticed when looking at the Shortage of Disc Space on the C Drive on one of the Backup Servers that the space is used in the following directory "C:\Windows\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM\". Whilst looking within this directory there are a number of the following files, each as a set of 3 that corresepond with Backup times. vixmntapi53{4bfd419c-1e64-11e0-ba9b-001185d55529}.TMContainer00000000000000000002.regtrans-ms 512KB vixmntapi53{4bfd419c-1e64-11e0-ba9b-001185d55529}.TMContainer00000000000000000001.regtrans-ms512KB vixmntapi53{4bfd419c-1e64-11e0-ba9b-001185d55529}.TM.blf 64KB I assume that this is the VCB element of the Backup Exec backup, but I am not sure whether these files are truely "Temp" or whether these need to remain for the restore process to be successful. Any help with this problem would be appreciated. DaveSolved
