[Bacula-users] space issues
Morning, I'm running bacula-2.1.26 on a centos 4.5 server. I have my backups going to disk. One of my disks ran out of space due to a failure on my part to exclude a directory that shouldn't have been backed up. I have two volumes on this disk. I tried to delete jobs for this particular problem client, and I also used prune to try to clean up the volumes, files, and jobs, but I cannot get the actual used disk space to budge. Is there a way to delete files from the volume? -megan ++ | Megan Kispert | Code: 423 | GSFC: 301-614-5410 | ADNET: 301.352.4632 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [Bacula-users] space issues
Not without losing all your back-ups. With disk, it is best to set a volume limit so that it will create multiple back-up files. These will look like tapes and bacula will be able to prune and recycle these, freeing up disk space the size of the back-up file. You may be able to use bcopy to extract the back-up into another set of files, but I'm not sure and it would require more disk space.
