Russell - Do you have any volumes that are marked as Purged orExpired? I would go after those first. You can simply delete them from the file system. Bareos will recreate them when it recycles them and labels them for reuse, so no bad side effects. Delete the Purged volumes first, since they aren't referenced in the database, then Expired if you need more space. This is NOT a permanent solution as it doesn't address the problem that filled up your disk space in the first place. It will, however, immediately free up space so that your backups can continue while you figure out your next move. If there are no Purged or Expired volumes and you need a temporary solution, you can move your oldest volumes to another storage system in case you need them for a restore. I would otherwise want to know more about your configuration before I provide any further advice. Deleting your volumes in order of (reverse) age can be dangerous in that you can delete your only full backup of something, putting a database or file system recovery at risk. If you provide details of your configuration I'm happy to share my thoughts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
