Good morning,
I am running Backup Exec 15. I've noticed for the last few days that DLM is successfully removing the expired backup sets from the database, but it is not reclaiming the physical space on the disk. It did do this at one point. I need to manually erase all the .bkf files in the BEData folder or else the backup will run out of space and fail.
One item of note is that I have been using a BEMCLI script to force the DLM interval to one minute to ensure that DLM always has a chance to run before the backup takes place, and it was working flawlessly clearing the sets through DLM and reclaiming the space on the disk. The script does this:
1. Grabs the value from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Backup Exec for Windows\Backup Exec\Server, CheckReclaimSpaceIntervalMinutes
2. Stores current value in variable to restore later.
3. Sets value to 1.
4. Restarts the Backup Exec services.
5. Waits 2 minutes for DLM to run and reclaim space.
6. Restores original value of key.
7. Restarts the Backup Exec services again.
I welcome any thoughts in how to troubleshoot this further.
Thanks,
Oscar
