Q: How can I identify which jobs are consuming the most space in a specific library in the CommCell Console? A: To identify the jobs that consume the most space in a library, follow these steps:
Q: How can I determine if the Retain Until date for these jobs has passed? A: After identifying the jobs that consume the most space, you can observe their Retain Until dates. To do this, check whether the retention period has already expired. If it has not expired, you can review the clients being backed up or adjust retention settings for these storage policy copies.
Q: How can I analyze the reasons for jobs not aging in the library? A: If the Retain Until date hasn't passed, you can run the "Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report" against the library. This report gives you insight into why certain data hasn't aged as expected. For more information about running this report, see Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report.
Q: Where can I find definitions for the reasons provided in the "Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report"? A: For detailed definitions of the reasons in the "Data Retention Forecast and Compliance Report", see Data Aging Troubleshooting.
Q: What should I do if space is still a concern after performing the above checks? A: If space continues to be a concern even after reviewing retention dates and analyzing the data retention report, further analysis may be necessary. Issues with deduplication, configuration, or pruning could be affecting the space utilization. Consider investigating these areas to identify and address any underlying problems.
For advanced troubleshooting, consulting the Commvault documentation or seeking assistance from technical support might be beneficial.
