are you using affa?

affa –-list-archives

Ideally, if using affa you should be backing up to a second smeserver box instead of your production box.

well.. OP must give us more details..

Byte, I used affa a while back until the box I was using broke down.

"affa --list-archives" brings no result.

Code: [Select]

backupwk=service
    BackupTime=17:00
    Compression=6
    CompressionProg=gzip
    DaysInSet=1
    FullDay=7
    IncOnlyTimeout=no
    Login=VMHOST\KNOX
    Password=*****
    Program=dar
    SetsMax=1
    SmbHost=192.168.2.50
    SmbShare=Mail
    Timeout=8
    VFSType=cifs
    status=disabled


Code: [Select]

[root@mail var]# config show backup
backup=service
    BackupType=tape
    Program=flexbackup
    backupTime=2:00
    reminderTime=14:00
    status=disabled

so now you aren't using affa anymore?

I'd say you can safely delete affa directory...

I'd also make sure that any affa jobs that are scheduled to be disabled / turned off, even though the OP hasn't been using affa since the box broke it does appear that affa has still been running backups, hence no disk space left today.

Thanks a lot Stefano and Byte. I'm most grateful for your help in getting this fixed. Removing the affa backup files has sorted out the issue. The emails are now flowing and the users are more than glad to be back online.

I'll uninstall the affa for now; even though there are currently no active jobs scheduled. I'll also keep an eye out for the trend in the usage of the remaining storage, just to be sure that there's nothing else running out the disk space.

Will definitely endeavor to improve my SME skillset. Who knows, I can be of help to someone else tomorrow!
