my VM-CTRL-FILES storage pool is getting full.

[Santosh87]

Hello All,
I am taking backups of VM as per IBM standard, but my VM-CTRL-FILES storage pool is getting full. As per my knowledge this storage pool should be small, I have given 1.5TB only for this storage pool.
How to calculate storage pool size, I am taking only incremental backups daily.
Due to this backups are failing. Please help

What is the utilization of volumes on that pool, do you run reclamation?

As per my knowledge this storage pool should be small, I have given 1.5TB only for this storage pool.

For comparison, how big is the storage pool where the VM backup reside?
What's your retention for VM backups?
