Will grooming reclaim disk space?


Recommended Posts

Hello to all. Using RS 7.5 Single Server w/ 1 Client and (8 single) Iomega REV 70 disks for backup. Each disk contains 1 Backup Set with 1 Member, Normal Backup, 500+ Sessions and 20+ Snapshots for the same day every week (Daily Rotation). Fast Catalog Rebuild is enabled. These disks are full and must re-use. Will Grooming the Daily Disk reclaim enough disk space for continuous use? Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Maybe; not enough information to answer.

 

See if this Knowledge Base article helps:

How Grooming Works

 

Depending on your grooming settings, grooming will retain some number of snapshots and all of the files necessary to support those snapshots.

 

Does that help?
