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

Please pay attention and try not to look like an idiot.

The command is "nsrim -X" and it does work if you type it correctly.

Your employer should send you on some official training. With your level of knowledge they should not trust you to look after their valuable data.



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
