Running a Vacuum on Your Disk Safe

Over time, the amount of “deltas” vs. actual disk space used can grow due to fragmentation. You can run a vacuum to realign the data and reduce fragmentation, bringing your “on disk size” closer to your “deltas size”. If you see a significant difference between the two values, you can often get within 1-5% by running the disk compact. If you recently purged older restore points with a lot of data that is no longer in use, running a vacuum can help clear out the data and reduce your overall “on disk size”.

Running a Vacuum on Your Disk Safe

Over time, the amount of "deltas" vs. actual disk space used can grow due to fragmentation. If you see a significant difference between the two values, or if you recently purged older restore points with a lot of data that is no longer in use, "running a vacuum" or compacting can help clear out the data and reduce your overall on-disk size. Performing a compaction will realign the data and reduce fragmentation, bringing your on-disk size closer to your deltas size. This process may take hours or days to complete depending on the amount of backup data. You may request that a data compaction be run on your backup files as part of your managed backup services here at Vivio. Please reach out to our Support team to get this scheduled.
