Will Grooming Automatically remove data when destination disk fills up?

[abb668b8-e67d-45d2-8fe4-b2a87dc2831e]

"Don't groom too often. Grooming will automatically remove data when the destination disk fills up. If you want to make sure the disk never fills, create a grooming script (Automate>Manage Scripts>New) to run once a week. Grooming every day is typically not needed."

 

The above advice from this link:

In the past, when a destination disk fills up, I get a message that says needs media.  I've always assumed that Grooming does not automatically remove data when destination disk fills up, but would love to be wrong about this.

 

Have others had success with grooming automatically removing data when destination disk fills up?

I thought that any grooming potentially removed data.

Grooming always removes old data when the disk fills, based on your grooming settings

So if I've set grooming to 2 snapshots, and the media set fills up at 1.5 snapshots, will retrospect ask for more media or just keep the 1.5 snapshots?

What prompts Retrospect to ask for more media?
