Delete or Cleanup with no disk space

Thread needs solution

Hi,

 

one of my Backup Disks is full (20kb free). But Delete or Cleanup Backups failed with "No disk space or quota".

This results in a very philosophical dilemma. "To free space, it needs free space". 

 

What did i miss?

 

Regards

Florian

Hello Florian,

thank you for posting on Acronis forums!

I advise that you replicate all necessary backups to another temporary location, clean up the source drive and then replicate necessary archives back.

However, if you use Always incremental backup scheme the size of the backup archive will not be significantly reduced. Thus, I recommend that you chat with Acronis Support Team engineer who can advise you on the best backup scheme and retention rule option in accordance with your environment, conditions, and settings.
