Re: how to reduce used capacity in data protection?

Thank You for the help.

The article that You mention is related to data recovery, that I believe is the previous version, whereas the customer has data protection.

Anyway the basic concepts might still apply, and in fact I thought that maybe when I remove a backup the space is not completely and fully released, but is marked as free and is made available to be reused for following backup.

BUT, if it is the case, I should NOT see the used capacity that increases everyday.

For example, imagine that I reached 80%.

I remove old backup for say 10%.

So, now there is 70% used, 20% completely free, and 10% that will be reused by data protection again.

I should see that the used capacity stays at 80%, because data protection REuses freed space.

Instead, the used capacity just one day later my removing old backup goes up to 81%, then to 83%, and so on.

Are there commands that let me check these data?

 

Thank You again and regards
