Configuring the DS-System : Configuring extensible storage locations : Optimizing storage space
 
Optimizing storage space
You can configure the options that apply for every System Admin process that runs on the DS-System.
To schedule the System Admin, see: “Scheduling the System Admin process”.
To run the System Admin on demand, see: “Running System Admin on a DS-Client account or backup set”.
To configure optimization settings:
1. On the Setup menu, click Storage, and then click Optimize Storage Space. The Optimize Storage Space Configuration dialog box appears.
F1 Help: "Optimize Storage Space Configuration"
Optimize files with at least [...] recycled generations. Check to enable at the specified number of generations. If this number is “0”, all recycled generations are cleaned.
Optimize files with at least [...] KB recycled generations. Check to enable at the specified size of generations. If this number is “0”, all recycled generations are cleaned.
Optimize files if last generation older than [...] days. Check to enable at the specified age of last generation. If this number is “0”, all recycled generations are cleaned.
Optimize files with cumulative delta size at least [...]% of master size. Check to have DS-System reconstruct delta files only if all the corresponding negative delta generation(s) plus the first positive one (the one that will become master) are bigger than the specified percentage of the negative master generation. (This reduces situations that require high disk I/O with relatively low space gains.)
2. Click OK to save the configuration.
These optimization settings will apply whenever System Admin processes a storage folder.
