iSCSI LUN BACKUP

Postby nofeerst » Tue Jun 12, 2012 3:28 pm

Hello,

We have two 2411+ units and have created a LUN backup job to go from the primary to secondary. Everything appears to be working as the first full took a long time then the incrementals took much less time. The question I have is there a way to set a retention or will the backup just keep growing until I'm out of space on the secondary unit?

Thanks

hm...I have a similar config like the TO.
Started a LUN-Backup from station1 to station2 on a common volume:

station1:
LUN 3.44 TB
Volume 3.44 TB

station2:
volume 3.57 TB


After some days the backupjob failed because of insufficient disk space :?
The Disk Manager shows:
volume 3.57 TB
used 2.25 TB
free 1.32 TB

Strange and not trustable. I thought the syno always does a rsync of the current state!?
If the target is bigger than the source, how can this happen?
