How can I ensure there's enough space in a shared folder to restore a snapshot file?

Applicable Products

Operating systems: QTS, QuTS hero

Applications: Storage & Snapshots, Storage Manager, Snapshot Manager

Overview

When restoring snapshot files to a local shared folder or a new shared folder, it's important to confirm that the destination folder has sufficient capacity to store the uncompressed files. If the original files are compressed, they occupy less disk space. However, if compression isn't enabled in the destination folder, the files will be restored at their full, uncompressed size. If there's insufficient free space, the restore process may fail.

Recommendation

Select a shared folder with sufficient free space to accommodate the uncompressed files you're restoring.

If necessary, create a new shared folder and manually allocate sufficient capacity for the restore. Avoid simply duplicating the original folder settings.

If you want to conserve storage space, consider enabling compression on the destination folder.
