Ensure that sufficient disk space is available before you create a local backup.

The system generates an alarm when the disk space reaches the threshold value. On the System Manager web console, you can configure the disk space and threshold value on the View Profile:SMGR Element Manager page from Settings > SMGR > SMGR Element Manager.

When the system runs out of disk space, the system deletes the older backup files to accommodate the new backup files.

For scheduled backups, the system cleans the backup files that local scheduled jobs create every 24 hours. If the number of backup files for each job exceeds 10, the system deletes the older backup files from the file system and removes the corresponding entry from the database.

For remote scheduled backups, the system removes the entries of older backup archive files from the database. However, the system does not delete the backup archive files from the file system.

When a local backup job is running and disk space reaches the maximum limit, the backup job fails. The system displays a message about the insufficient disk space and suggests you remove older backup files to create additional disk space.
