My backup is blocked because there is not space left on the device I’m backing up to. This happened because the current retention policies are not aggressive enough.
I have already updated the retention policies, but since the storage device is full, I cannot delete some old snapshots and run the maintenance to really free some space (the maintenance process requires some free space for temporary files).
Which is the best way to free some space?
Is it possible to identify a given file or directory in the encrypted kopia files in the backup? So that I would directly delete them?
Another alternative would be to mount the backup on a local machine and delete some files from the mounted backup? Is this possible without ruining the rest of the backup?
