Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

Expiring snapshots and initiating file system cleaning are effective ways to free up space on a full PowerProtect DD system. These actions help reclaim storage by removing old, unneeded data without impacting active backups. When a PowerProtect DD system is full and no further data can be written or deleted, the following actions can be taken to free up space:

Expire Existing Snapshots: This process involves removing old or expired snapshots that are no longer needed, which helps in reclaiming space within the system.

Start File System Cleaning: File system cleaning is a maintenance operation that reclaims unused space by consolidating and removing data that is no longer needed, such as expired or deleted data segments. This process is essential in freeing up capacity when the system is near or at full utilization.

These steps allow administrators to make space available on the system without immediately adding new storage or altering the configuration.

Restarting the file system might also be a good option to make capacity available.

I'm just going to go with my gut and say C) and D). Removing core files sounds like a bad idea, and I don't want to mess with any replication settings.

I agree with Cheryll. Removing core and autosupport files could also help free up space.
