WHS Backup Cleanup

Sorry to post in Engish but that's the only language I know.

And this is the ONLY WHS NG that I'm aware of.

OK, enough said...

I have inadvertantly backed up too much data so have removed machines and am
running the Cleanup... it's a SLOW process and I have doubts it's doing it's
thing.

Any suggestions from this group?

TIA.

Regards,

Gary

Due to the special method of storing data backup cleanup will take indeed a
long time:
Each block must be verified, if it does not exist on any of the other saved
machines, and the entire content need to be reorganized after removing the
unique parts.

Bingo!

That's the case. I removed my W2003 R2 X64 and my SBS2003 R2 boxes...
There's just one of them.

I will also have a llook at that NG.

Thanks so much Olaf!

Kindest regards.

Gary
