Low disk space threshold (at which backup operations are suspended) |
Indicates if backup operations to the backup-to-disk folder are suspended when the amount of free space on the disk reaches a specific level.
When the disk’s free space reaches this threshold, Backup Exec places current jobs on hold until disk space is available. The low disk space threshold prevents disk-full errors and provides early warning. This threshold prevents jobs from being submitted to a backup-to-disk folder that does not have enough disk space to allow the job to complete. Backup Exec can instead submit the jobs to backup-to-disk folders that do have enough disk space.The backup-to-disk status displays Low Disk Space. You must free some disk space to allow job submission to resume.
