Large backup copies do not remove completely from S3 storage

Symptoms

• Backup copies with more than 90GBytes can not be removed from S3 storage completely
• Backup copies can not be removed from S3 storage completely after the size of the backup copy volume has changed.

Reasons

Small size of the backup copy volume could lead to creation of more than 1000 parts of a backup copy and that causes creation of pages of files on S3 storage’s side. ispmanager 6 is not permitted to manage files on these pages.

Solution

Increasing size of the backup copy volume will lead to dividing backup copies to a smaller number of parts.

To change the size of the backup copy, navigate to Backup copies section and change the value in the Volume size filed in the backup settings.

For example, if the value is set up as 1024 MB then the backup copy of 100GBytes will be divided into 100 parts.
