Re: No space

[b]--backup-room[/b] argument is useless if your disk is already full. Free some space manually.
The [b]--backup-room[/b] value is expressed in Mb., thus 690 means: use 690 Mb. to store my backups.

[b]CORRECTION 2019-01-03:[/b]

--backup-room is expressed in Gb., not Mb.

Are you sure?

From my backup job -

--backup-room=500

From the confirmation email (received after backup) -

The backup room has been limited to 500 Gb

Re: No space

Yes, we meant Gb. not Mb.

Re: No space

When I enter this report from the limit, it is 690GB and it will not be able to erase the capacity so that it frees up additional capacity. Why can not you clear it? Where can you make a mistake?

I have a backup room but the script can not delete the old backup and I do not know why. When I manually delete them all goes further. But the script can not delete the old one.

Re: No space

The message is clear:

Error MKROOM01: cannot make 162G of room, only 130G can be made available

Only folders matching the [b]YYYYMMDDhhmmss[/b] mask are considered for deletion, this is clearly stated in the posts covering this topic.
