Good day everyone,
I postponed the inevitable for some time, up until now I did not upgrade to new backup format.
However, now I have to because I have new backup jobs that can't be used in de backup copy jobs.
The main issue why I postponed.... I have a 350TB immutable XFS repository(year retention time) that is filled by periodic backup copy job(synthetic full's). It has about 130TB free. (And about 998TB used not accounting de-duplication)
I fear that upgrading jobs(a process that is well documented, so that is not the issue) will get me into trouble: a filled up repo without being able to do anything about it. I do not want to delete older backups, but I can't even fix it like that because it's immutable.
I feel that I have to gamble if it is "going to fit", and I do not like this.
Does anybody have tips&tricks? Any insights are appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
