Hi there
We have 2 Windows Server 2012 physical machine and these machine has cross synchronization in Hyper-V and also each machine has USB dedicated backup device attached to this machine. On the USB dedicated backup device, we ran a Windows Server Backup (Local backup) run once a day and we only select the VMs and Host Component for backing up and use an option for "Backup to harddisk that is dedicated for backups (recommended).
Now we have a warning saying that the space for USB backup device is only 5% left and in this device we have 273 copies of backups (capacity 1863 GB and used space 1767 GB), so my question are:
1. Does this Windows backup will overwrite the old one by any chance automatically? Or it will throw an error if it's full?
2. If it's throwing an error, how do we deleted the old backups?
We prefer to have first option recycling/deleting the old one automatically. Option (2), we can't really see the contain of the disk .. not sure how we are going to delete old backups. Alternative, we are thinking to supply another brand new USB disk ... is that the best option?
Waiting for your feedback.
Thanks
Isadewa
