Hi,
all info that I find on Technet seems to say that WSE should manage the space of the server backup hard drives automatically (ie. delete older backups to create newer ones). However, all threads on this topic usually involve users who only have 1 backup drive.
In my case, we use 2 server backup hard drives in onsite/offsite rotation. Both drives are identical 2Tb hard drives. Drive 1 was nearing full capacity, so we swapped it out with Drive 2. A few days later, we plugged Drive 1 back in, expecting it to self-clean. Instead, it reached 100% capacity, and backups have been failing for 3 days now.
So Drive 1 is 100% full (2Tb), and contains 91 backups.
Drive 2's is lower, but I suspect that's simply because we didn't leave it plugged in to the server as long as Drive 1 (so it has fewer backups).
How can this situation be fixed?
