Summary
On some larger servers the DPX bitmap location can grow very large especially when doing multiple backups per day. This document provides steps to decrease the default 7 day retention of these files.
Step By Step
Please note that this setting requires DPX 4.5.3 or later patch level to be effective
- Open regedit on the client
- Go to HKLM | Software | Syncsort | Backupexpress | Nodename | 0
- Add the registry key SNAPCATRETENTION with value of XX days ( 2 days is the minimum)
- Restart the DPX settings and wait for the next scheduled condense. The retention should be reduced to XX days.
