#1 Re: General matters » AWS S3 bucket size problem » 2018-10-30 07:40:46
Hi,
The Storage Gateway VM runs on the local ESXi Server. This VM is specifically designed for ESXi. The XSIBackup makes the backup to the NFS mount point shared by this local machine. The NFS Share is not over WAN. This VM has a cache drive from which the VM uploads the data to AWS S3.
From what I understand, XSIBackup "cannot" know that it is like this - it should look like a regular NFS.
df -h dows not show the right figures:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
NFS None 0.0B None 0% /vmfs/volumes/AWS <<- THIS IS THE MOUNT
VMFS-6 1.8T 1.0T 781.6G 58% /vmfs/volumes/datastore1
VMFS-6 1.8T 1.8T 17.6G 99% /vmfs/volumes/NVR
VMFS-6 1.8T 579.5G 1.3T 31% /vmfs/volumes/BACKUP

S3 is set up via a VM supplied by Amazon - AWS Storage Gateway (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/storagegate … mware.html). There is not a lot of set up that I can do.
I am no computer expert, but is seems odd that XSIBackup reports a lot of free GB but still wants to free space.

Hi,
I am using AWS S3 bucket mounted as NFS for an off-site backup, besides the local backup.
When the backup starts, the program says that I have a huge amount of GB left (something like 86738893662883 GB) but it has no room for my backup (about 516 GB) and it needs to delete all the snapshots in order to free up space.
Clearly, the S3 bucket has enough space so deleting all the snapshots is not necessary.
Is this a bug?
