disk full after backup

[stany.wy...@myrealbox.com]

Hi,

Since 3 weeks, my NW4SBS (NW4.11 + GW5.2 + BackupExec + inoculan) server
with one volume SYS: display all the nights the message "Volume SYS
almost out of disk space" at +/- 0:15 am. Our office are closed, the
backup is execute from 8:00 to 11:00 PM without a problem and we have 500
to 1.5 Gbytes of free space on the HD (capacity: 9 Gbytes) before living
the desk at 17:00 (old files deleted and volume purge).

During office hours, I receive also following messages "Insufficient disk
space to decompress file..." and "Insufficent disk space on volume SYS
prevented a newly decompressed file from being commited to disk in its
decompressed format when the file was closed" in the sys$log.err file.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Stany.

This all sounds like a compression/decompression issue to me - have a
look at:

Any Chance an Inoculan Scan is running during that point in time? I have
seen this cause that error.

Insufficient Space to decompress file simply means that decompressing the
file would leave the server with insufficient free space.
The file will simply remain in a compressed state on the server instead of
going to an uncompressed state after access.
The default setting for this amount is 10% of the volume. This is not really
an error or problem, but you should consider adding more space.

I think you're on the right track. The KTIME parameter needs to be
increased, if I recall correctly.
