Hi.
We have a secondary DPM server setup, which also (amog other primary DPM stuff) backups primary DPM’s
database DPMDB. The database is around 1,2 GB large. The retention rate is
set to 31 days and the recovery point is made every day at 10.00 p.m. (one
recovery point per day). The strange thing is, right now the backup uses 29,11
GB for the recovery points, having only 3 active recovery points from which
the data can be restored. I really don’t get this! Why does DPM not delete
unneeded data for recovery points and how can I delete them manualy (I have tried out pruneshadowcopy.ps1, with no success)? And why are only
three recovery points active (for the last 3 days) if the retention rate is
31 days? This is present only by DPMDB, other databases from DPMs SQL server
(e.g. master, model, msdb etc.) work as expected and are in the same PG as DPMDB.
Primary DPM uses it’s own SQL server, which is used only for DPM data.
Thank’s for help!
