In our workplace we have setup a backup system consisting the Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R3 and Synology NAS
The backup are scheduled as follows
Symantec Backup Exec
---[1]---> Synology Rack
---[2]---> external usb
Part 1
consists of the following back tasks:
- System Back up - daily @ 18:00
- Data Back up - daily @ 23:00
- System setting Back up - weekly (saturdays) @ 20:00
Part 1
seems to work fine; Problems arise in part 2
, which consist of only one backup task
- LUN backup - weekly (tuesdays) @ 06:00
Every Tuesday we receive the following auto-generated email: USB disk 1 on your NAS device is running out of space; please take corrective action
,
followed by this email: Local LUN Backup on your NAS device has failed. Please check the backup log for further information
Is there a clever way of solving this situation. First thing that comes to my mind is somehow emptying the external USB drive, but how to do this automatically?
I am a newbie, so any suggestions are welcomed.
