lowspeed Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Anybody has a good rule on how often to groome ? Should i do it daily ? weekly ? I often get stuck with no space on my 1.5 TB disks. (backing up about 40 computers) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 We do it every weekend. That's when Retrospect isn't so busy making backups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauricev Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Same here. Sounds like you need more space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy_Boy Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 We do it at the weekend too.. You must have a lot of data on those 40 machines to need 1.5TB of storage, unless you're doing full system backups? Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowspeed Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 It's those big outlook archives that take a lot of space. (And if someone moves just one email to it and changes the file it will backup the entire file again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy_Boy Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 ah ok. We found they didn't even have to add an email, Outlook 'touches' the PST file which changes the datafile enough to trigger a backup! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
