out of space on repository

Post by JardaCZ »

Hi guys,

I know it's my fault, but I overlooked there storage space getting low.
Now my backup failed and I don't know how can I clean up the repository. It's single partition Synology and there are only Veeam backups.

You can see screenshot bellow.

What Can I delete? Or is there some trick? For example decrease history time? Or some repository purge feature?

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Jaroslav

Hi Jaroslav, now to free up some space to let jobs complete, you can delete the oldest VBK file(s). What are you current retention settings for this job?

Hi Foggy,

I've just deleted the last .VBK and started backup task.
I also changed backup history from 5 to 4 days.

2/18/2019 6:27:00 PM :: Processing MYSERVER Error: File does not exist. File: [\\211.111.111.111\bkp-MYSERVER-secondary\bkp-MYSERVER-secondary\bkp-MYSERVER-secondary_C8C7D2019-02-11T020037.vib].
Failed to open storage for read access. Storage: [\\211.111.111.111\bkp-MYSERVER-secondary\bkp-MYSERVER-secondary\bkp-MYSERVER-secondary_C8C7D2019-02-11T020037.vib].
Failed to download disk.
Shared memory connection was closed.
Failed to upload disk.
Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}.

So I deleted last .WIB and rerun the backup and still the same error.

Thank you for help and I attach here relevant link to explain Backup Chain

Veeam Backup & Replication creates and maintains the following types of backup files:

VBK — full backup files that store copies of full VM images.
VIB or VRB — incremental backup files that store incremental changes of VM images.
VBM — backup metadata files that store information about the backup job, VMs processed by the backup job, number and structure of backup files, restore points, and so on. Metadata files facilitate import of backups, backup mapping and other operations.

Jaroslav,

Which VBK did you exactly delete? The one from 4/1/2017? Or another?

I would suggest deleting the restore points manually from Windows Explorer as the Veeam database will still think the restore points exist. Make sure you delete them from the Veeam Backup & Replication console which deletes them from the database and from the repository. If the ones you deleted were manually deleted from the repo, please go into the VBR console and remove the restore points from there which are no longer on the repo and then verify if you still receive errors when performing a backup.

Joe
