Hi

My first post to this list so be mercyfull please ;P

What is the correct procedure to follow when one runs out of disk space?

All my backups of a few servers are done to one machine that has a raid
5 system running.

A day or so ago I ran out of disk space.
I tried to recycle/prune the oldest volume but it had no effect.

Any ideas might be helpfull.

Thanks

uhm .. so your setup just makes a new file for every backup with ever deleting old ones ? i would suggest to set up a pool of somewhere between 7 and 30 files, set up so each is uesed only for one backup in rotation and a redemption period and auto-prune so the oldest one gets recycled.

also you should calculate in some extra space so the backups can grow some more ...
