Space Freeing Up Overview for AhsayOBM

Space Freeing Up Overview

This feature is used to remove obsolete file(s) from your backup set and destination (manually start Retention Policy). After the Space Freeing Up job is completed, the storage statistics of the backup set(s) are updated.

1. Select a backup set from the drop-down list

   

   If you select a specific backup set, then you will also have to select a specific destination or all destinations.

   

   If you select All backup sets, then there is no need to select a destination.

   

2. Click the Start button to perform a space free up.

   

3. Provide the passcode for 2FA.

   

    

   • If the backup destination is immutable, space freeing up will not be allowed and this message will be displayed:

     However, if deletion is enabled temporarily for the immutable backup destination, space freeing up will run after the passcode for 2FA is provided.

   • The backup user account must be setup with 2FA in order to perform space free up from immutable backup destination.
   • The passcode will only be required if 2FA is enabled for the user whether the backup destination is immutable or not. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

4. Space freeing job will start running on the selected backup set(s) and backup destination(s).

   

5. The status will be shown once completed.
