Very Large FLAT file

Post by ketek007 »

Hi,

I have a problem with a large FLAT file - 3.5 files 100-200 GB in size
The file is probably created when I try to do recovery - Veeam Restore File (Veeam.EndPoint.FLR)

FLAT files take up the entire space of the C drive - C: \ Windows \ temp \
To remove them: I need to restart the computer - the server



Please help. Why these files are created ? and how to automatically delete
Thank you in advance!

Hi Lukasz.

Said files are pointers and take no space on the disk(don't mind the size value).
Those should be automatically cleared upon FLR wizard closure.

/Thanks!

Indeed the flat files do not reflect the actual used space, should be smaller than reported by operating system. However, if flat files are not deleted when you finalize the FLR process that must be investigated by our support team. If you can confirm that they remain on the disk after FLR is closed please raise a support ticket and share the case ID with us. Cheers!
