Checkpoints may cause a drive to fill

[timgowen]

I have a cluster which has a replication job copying backups to another site. However one of the VMs in this replication job is causing an error:

04/06/2021 06:30:24 :: Production drive C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2 is getting low on free space (192.7 GB left), and may run out of free disk space completely due to open snapshots.

There are a lot of snapshots on the VM, and they're labelled as Veeam Backup snapshots. Can I remove them to resolve the error? The actual backup seems be fine so this is a new one on me.

Hi Tim,

At the end of backup\replication cycle source VM snapshots are removed by Veeam. If that does not happen, deleting existing snapshot chain won't solve the root of the issue and they will keep stacking again. It will be best to open support ticket and get to the source of the problem with engineer guidance.

/Thanks!
