How to prevent warning that backup disk gets full?

[Morgenstern72]

I would like my backup to store as many backups as possible and overwrite/delete as needed. I think I set my backup up like this.
But now I get warnings about disk space.

What do I have to set to achieve that veeam does not warn about free space but reclaims space as needed?

Hello Joachim,
Is your backup repository used only for Veeam Backups?
If yes, how many jobs are using it?
My point is owerwriting is tricky since you need to remove some restore points and you have dependent ones in the backup chain.
Thanks

Is your backup repository used only for Veeam Backups? -> yes
If yes, how many jobs are using it? -> 1
My point is owerwriting is tricky since you need to remove some restore points and you have dependent ones in the backup chain. -> I make an active full every two months. So it should be easy to delete the oldest active full.

But I don't see any information about how many active fulls there are, how many days are backed up etc. I guess for that I have to start a restore job and calculate?

You can find information about restore available restore points and backup sizes in Veeam ONE reports.
I believe it makes more sense to have an according data retention instead of oweverwirtting the older backups.

But now I get warnings about disk space.

Can you please share the exact warning text from the user log? Thank you!

It's the free version of the agent, it does not make sense for me to use veeam one, my desktop can't handle that.
