mdb77b Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Using Express 7.6 w/ WD 500GB external drive for backups. The drive is pretty much full with backups dating back to early 2007. But I cannot delete any of them to make some room on the drive. I've set the grooming preferences to be more aggressive but was unable to recover any drive space. I manually deleted several old 'snapshots,' and then directed it to groom immediately, but all of the 'sessions' for those snapshots are still there. Even worse, I used to have a third internal drive (E:) which had many snapshots and sessions associated with it. I removed that drive a couple of months ago and have deleted all of the snapshots associated with it, but the sessions are all still there taking up space. I also changed the amount of space on the drive that Retrospect is supposed to use, but I haven't been able to recover any of the WD external drive. Each time I try to groom manually, I get the same error: "Could not open catalog file XXXX for grooming cleanup; error -843 (resource is in use by another operation". There are no other operations using that drive. Please help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Have you tried a catalog rebuild? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
