How Do I Enable the Function of Clearing Snapshots Generated in the Current Backup?

Hello, xianxian!

Please check the following steps:

1. Use PuTTY to log in to the CSBS_Service1 or CSBS_Service2 node using the IP address corresponding to the CSBS_Service1 or CSBS_Service2 field.

The default account is djmanager. The default password is CloudService@123!.

2. Run the following command, and enable this function.

set_features --clean_cur_time_snap true

To disable this function, run the set_features --clean_cur_time_snap false command.

3. Run the get_features command to check whether this function is enabled. If the value of Clean_cur_time_snap is true, this function is enabled

Hope this helps!

Olive, thanks for your reply!

If I manually change a full backup to an incremental backup, will the snapshot be deleted? If it's cleaned up, I don't have a full backup.

Hello,

By default, the system disables the function of clearing the snapshots generated in this backup. After this function is enabled and the system automatically performs a backup based on the backup policy, if the system determines that the next backup type is full backup, the system deletes the snapshot generated during the current backup.

If you change the backup type to incremental backup or manually perform an incremental backup before the next full backup, the system generates a full backup copy because no snapshot is available.

Have a nice day!
