"Ok, have you tried running "nsrim -X" after deleting the saveset using 
the "nsrmm -d"? If not, try that. This should free up space on your file 
type device." 

Yes I have tried, but it say:
unrecognized option: 'X'
nsrm [c-client] [-x percent] ......

Can I delete SSID if status is recoverable or browsable, would it be any 
problem. I mean would networker have the problem when searching recoverable 
SSID.   

I hope you understand, I now i would delete files. But some of my files are 
from month MAI.

"From reading the OP posts I feel very uneasy to suggest anything to him, it 
appears he has no familiarity with NetWorker whatsoever. Suggesting a command 
or two will not help, and can be dangerous when the commands applied without a 
hint of understanding what they do. Please, open the Admin Guide and do some 
thorough reading first. I have a feeling that the whole setup is wrong. If all 
environment takes 350GB for a full backup and the AFTD has 3TB capacity - I see 
no problem in holding 2 days worth of data, as mentioned by the OP. 3 TB should 
be good for at least a couple of week of retention. 
RETENTION - duration of time your data is stored in your backup system. The 
longer the retention = the more data you will be storing = the bigger storage 
device you need. 
Assuming that you have 350GB total to backup, I'd set a weekly schedule with 1 
full and 6 incremental backups, with 1 week retention, to be on a safe side. 
After running for a couple of days I would estimate the amount of storage for 
incremental backup, and space requirement for a weekly cycle (1 full + 6 
incrementals). With these numbers we have some basis for calculating the 
retention period. Keep in mind that if you set retention to be "N" weeks, it 
actually becomes eligible for deletion after "N + 1" weeks, because incremental 
backups are based on last full plus incrementals coming after that full "

I have retention with 1 week. But I will say one more time I have not enough 
space for backup and I just wont to remove some SSID from month MAI. Something 
has hone wrong and I dont have enough space.

I will just remove some SSID from MAI and I hope everything would be OK.

But problem is when I remove my ssid and dont remove disk space.


Any other Idea.

Thanks for your Time
