[SOLVED] PBS not reclaiming storage from cancelled backups

[blackpaw]

Was setting up a fresh Datastore + namespaces for backups.
Backed up one node with some small VMs and containers, total storage used on PBS was 120GB

Started backing up the 2nd node (2TB of data), but had to cancel it at 25% done, total storage used had jumped to 400GB. I've since run several garbage collections, but storage used on the PBS is still at 400GB.

Is there anyway to get the space back?

did you wait 24h + 5min ( see https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html#garbage-collection for details) before running the garbage collection?

Ah, interesting - thanks.
