Re: empty containers?

I know 8.1.4.0 has a defrag option, that moves the content to existing containers that have space instead of moving the container as a whole, that might be a solution. I do think it's new for 8.1.4.0 and I don't think there is a way to get rid of them before that release. On Wed, Feb 21, 2018 at

Re: empty containers?

Hi Remco, No direct answer to your question, but your statement " dedup on SQL is non-existant" is kind of astonishing me ... Here an extract of the output for "q stg DIR_SQL f=d" on my server (you guessed it, this stgpool is dedicated to SQL backups ...) : Deduplication

empty containers?
