Hi,
I don't use staging or AFTD Devices any more , but if you were to look at
the policy, you can still use the logic say, max storage period, recover
space interval and file check intervals to retire oldest save set ( i
assume they will run regardless of whether you clone or stage), since you
do not stage, may be you can list the saveset that have valid 2 or more
copied with a script and then use that script to delete the saveset on the
AFTD devices.

RE: [Networker] Advanced file type devices on storage nodes
But don’t watermarks come into play only with staging? We’re not using
staging. We’re cloning. Am I missing something?
As far as native OS utilities, we could ssh between the NW server and
storage node, but we’d rather not. I was hoping there was some NW-based
query that would give us the information.
Thanks.

Hello,
The watermarks enforce how networker handles cleaning up saveset based on
the policy you set, perhaps a simple script with email form nsradmin on
how close are you to the watermark may work for you.
If not native OS utilities can alert you depending on how much disk space
is free.
There may be other mminfo type of cmds you can use to get a handle on it,
but i am frankly not understanding the reasoning to do this, since based
on your policy networker will remove staged savesets, if you are reaching
watermarks frequently and not able to retain as long as you like then
perhaps additional AFTD devices or increasing their size is more
appropriate ?

Re: [Networker] Advanced file type devices on storage nodes
Yes, but staging would not allow us to keep a copy onsite and send a
copy offsite. We need the ability to copy the data (ie, clone) and then
delete at a later date. BUT, we also want to delete only when we're
running out of space. We just can't figure out how to get NetWorker to
let us know how big each disk device is.
Thanks.

Teresa,
You can easily configure staging (Configuration - Staging) from the
Networker Management Console. Staging will look for the configured
devices
and will clone data which is not yet recyclable to tape. In this way you
keep all data within the retention period on site.
