chazzy2501 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Argh, my backup drive has filled! usually sits at around 4tB but has somehow gone to 7tb and is now out of space. I think the dedupe has stopped functioning. My problem is that there is no obvious issue. I tried to manually start a de-dupe job but it remains queued.. The data is too large too move and I can't just delete it and make a new one. I've rebooted, stopped the service and restarted but it just sits like a lemon permanently queued. How do I un-pickle this issue?
Chuckster Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Are you able to run the following commands... Start-DedupJob -Type GarbageCollection -Priority High -Volume D: Then run Get-DeDupJob to see what the status is Followed by... Start-DedupJob -Type Scrubbing -Priority High -Volume D: Again, run Get-DedupJob what the status is. 1
chazzy2501 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Posted January 22, 2019 I'd double the VMs RAM and the next day the drive was back to half, with 4TB of dedupe savings. Uncompressed backups for the win! (The RAM was set to 4GB far too small for a volume this large)
