Hi there

I've deteled backups et ran garbage collector manually, and after 24h the storage has not decreased, and now my storage is full.

My PBS VM is automatically turned on before the backup in the night and it automatically turns off after 1 hour (for security reasons and power saving)

I'm asking myself if I need to leave the VM powered on all day long to allow the chunks removal

thanks all

no that should not be necessary, running gc should be enough to free space from deleted backups... can you maybe post the log of the last garbage collection?
