Re: [Veritas-bu] How to regain disk space from failed backup to DSU
2008-04-18 09:59:17
If you manually delete anything from
disk I would highly suggest running a bpimage -cleanup so that your catalog
is consistent. This is suppose to happen automatically but you may want
to look at the command guide for the specific options so that it doesn't
take so long to complete i.e. specifying client name or backup ID. Also,
depending on how you are backing up to disk, you may not be able to realize
your space savings until your disk appliances complete a cleaning cycle.
For example, if you are using Data Domain devices, simply deleting the
images from disk will not give you back that space. You have to allow the
devices to complete a full cleaning cycle which is a 10 phase process and
let me tell you,,,,, it can take a LONG TIME!! This of course depends on
the amount of data you are purging. For the specific case with Data Domain
devices, we do not use them with the VTL option so while it would still
be true that a cleaning cycle would still need to complete the time that
takes may be different.
Can any other Data Domain users out
there add any color here??

Try expiring the image or crudely just deleting the image files from the
disk location
