Vacuuming, or compacting, a Disk Safe allows you to reclaim unused space in the Disk Safe and reorder the data to reduce fragmentation. Block Stores are vacuumed in-place when the Vacuum function is selected by a user.
Follow the instructions below to vacuum a Disk Safe in Data Center Console.
1. In the Main menu, click Disk Safes. Server Backup Manager displays the Disk Safes window.
2. In the "Disk Safes" list, find the Disk Safe you need and click the "Vacuum" icon located in the "Actions" column next to the appropriate Disk Safe.
 | Tip To find a Disk Safe, you can use the Basic and Advanced List Filters. See Monitor Disk Safes in DCC. |
3. After clicking the "Vacuum" icon, a warning window opens. Confirm your request to vacuum the selected Disk Safe by clicking "Vacuum."
4. You will receive a notification that the Vacuum Task has been scheduled. Click "OK". The Task will run immediately after its creation.
| Tip The Task results can be sent via email as a Report. See Generate DCC email reports. |
