Greetings,
Fairly new to Spectrum Protect. We have a TS4300 running tape backups and one issue I'm running into is running out of tape. Our primary pool is reporting over 35 TB of tape being filled, but we have only about max 5 TB of data to back up. We've been running this system for almost a year, and about 6 months ago bought 10 scratch tapes, which are now almost run out.
I'm guessing that it's old data that's not being deleted and is being allowed to remain on tape, but I don't know if that's the case.
We'd really appreciate any help you could give.
