Thanks for the reply! I thought I had calculated the neccessary disk space correctly along with the volume retention cycles but it seems I was wrong, or the site's data volume increased a lot. > If you want to fix the problem so that it never comes back (assuming my > speculation above really is the source of the problem), you will need to > make sure that you recycle volumes at whatever intervals are necessary > to prevent you from running out of space. I'll do that and decrease the intervals. Hopyfully I can do that without having to start over the whole backup system and without losing months worth of backups. Do you have experience with that? Are there any problems that could arise and I should be aware of? Thanks again!
