Troubleshoot MABS disk capacity issues affecting replicas, recovery points and backup jobs.

Solution

01 Identify the full volume

Recommendations

06 Validate after remediation Confirm the volume has sufficient free space and verify a successful recovery point after cleanup or allocation changes.

Determine whether the problem is on replica storage, recovery point storage, SQL storage or the operating system volume.

01

Identify the full volume

02

Check growth drivers

Review retention settings, datasource changes, replica churn and long-running jobs.

03

Review storage allocation

Confirm the protection group has appropriate disk allocation for current workload size and change rate.

04

Check Windows storage

Use Get-Volume and Get-PSDrive to review free space and identify unrelated files consuming capacity.

05

Avoid manual deletion

Do not delete MABS-managed replica or recovery point files directly from the filesystem.

06

Validate after remediation

Confirm the volume has sufficient free space and verify a successful recovery point after cleanup or allocation changes.
