Space on management server for snapshots

carl_t — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 07:52:19 GMT

Hi All

I recently had to resize the partition on my Checkpoint management server as I could not run any snapshots, this was done and we could then snapshot it.

It appears after a month we have now run into the same issue, the logs are using all the space up.

I need 67Gig for a snapshot.

What do I need to do to stop the log files eating up the space? would it be changing setting in the attached file to say 67Gig?

Cheers

Carl

Snapshots are taken to unpartitioned space on the disk, so the log partition filling up can't affect that.

If you're talking about backups, or exporting snapshots to disk so you can copy them off, then yes you should edit the disk cleanup options to remove log files earlier.

Also 67GB is a big snapshot, make sure you don't have large files in your home directories as those directories are included in snapshots. Use /var/log/tmp to store large files, that directory is not included in snapshots.
