If you’re using the VTL, all you really
have to do is re-label the tapes in NBU after they’re expired. That
tells DD that it can “erase” the rest of what’s on the tape.
That’s the case with any VTL.
If you’re using the file interface,
it deletes the files for you when they expire.

What we do when space gets tight on our DataDomain is to identify
Images that are soon to expire within NBU. Go ahead and pre-expire them, then
afterwards kick off a clean.
In our case, we use VTL and pre-expire the volumes that are soon to expire (we
have 3 month retention), go out to the DD and vtl export/vtl tape del; followed by a vtl
tape add/vtl import.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Clean up
disk space on Data Domain
Hi,
We are using NBU 6.5.3 and all our backups are going to Data Domain. One of our
backend disk is at 100% and we want to get some space back.
However we do not know how can we get it faster other than running the clean
process of DD, even after which we will be getting 265 GB space.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dushyant Mehta
