Solution 1: Manual prune

An Axcient BRC support technician will manually delete any temporary transaction data and mount points outside of the retention threshold configured on the Axcient BRC appliance.

Temporary transaction data is a byproduct of various activities, including local and Cloud replication jobs, failover VMs discarded improperly and other tasks performed/cached by the Axcient BRC appliance.

Users with large volumes of data will see temporary transactional data taking up larger amounts of disk space.

From time to time, a restore point may not be appropriately discarded in accordance with the retention policy configured on the Axcient BRC appliance. Over time, and with large enough data stores, this may take up large amounts of disk space that could otherwise be used for more current replications. The Axcient BRC support technician will confirm the retention policy with the user, and then confirm that the user approves of the deletion of any mount points outside of the retention policy.

To view the total amount of transactional data on the appliance, do the following:

1. Log in to the UMC of the Axcient BRC appliance.
2. Click the Reports tab in the top navigation menu.
3. In the Reports page, click the Current Disk Usage tab in the left-hand navigation menu.
4. In the Current Disk Usage page, click the Show Disk Usage Details button.
5. The Disk Usage Per Job report will appear. All temporary transaction data is represented in green.

Solution 2: Upgrade to a larger appliance

In some cases, the data growth on the protected devices has exceeded the Axcient appliance capacity.

In this case, the only resolution will be to upgrade the existing appliance to a larger one.

The user will need to work with the Axcient Support technician to determine which option is best to take and to successfully upgrade the appliance.
