Backup archive shrink

[tony200]

hi,

I have a backup from my notebook to a 500gb USB disk, the backup disk has 50Gb free disk space ...
I can't run the job ... error "no free disk space"

can I shrink the backup archive with 1 full and 2 incremential points manually to 1 full without running the job over gui ... may be by a script?

so I get more free space and I can run the job normally over the gui.

thanks a lot.

Hi Tony,

If you don’t have space for a new incremental backup you’ll need to manually delete the entire backup chain, and start from scratch. My suggestion is to get a bigger disk; 500GB is really low these days.

I recommend using our calculator to estimate backup space. Make sure your backup disk has enough free space for additional 1-2 full backups just in case.

Best,
Fabian
