The storage is filling up, despite the retention setting

[klf]

Hi,

I've got problem with amount of space of backup's. Despite the retention settins, it's filling up, even if I delete manually old backup's.
I suspect there is a problem with the chunks folders. The old ones are still on the storage.
Any ideas where is a problem?

Do you have configured Garbage Collection to run regularly? Otherwise the space will not be reclaimed.

No, I didn't know if there if something like that.
Any basic suggestions, how to configure that and whwere I'll find this option?

You can find more information about Garbage Collection in our PBS documentation [1], including how to set up a Garbage Collection job.
