Space Reclamation - Online Help

Use this dialog box to select the criteria for a space reclamation operation.

  • Select Source MediaAgent

    Allows you to select the source MediaAgent from which you will run the space reclamation job.

    The MediaAgent should be one of the MediaAgents displayed in the Data Paths tab of the Copy Properties dialog box.

    When the <Any MediaAgent> is selected, the system automatically picks up the appropriate MediaAgent, especially when multiple MediaAgents are associated with the copy. This ensures faster reads from the copy.

  • Reclamation Level

    Select the level of reclamation to be done. On the slider the numbers indicate the percentage of unused data blocks that can be defragmented.

    • 1 is equal to 80% (Least aggressive reclamation, low I/O on the disk)

    • 2 is equal to 60%

    • 3 is equal to 40%

    • 4 is equal to 20% (Most aggressive reclamation, higher I/O on the disk)

  • Clean Orphan Data

    Select the option to prune the orphan chunks and the orphan blocks.
