Low disk space in DB Backup

Hi,
When i am scheduling "Full database offline backup" in DB13 the job fails due to low disk space. I can't delete anything from disk drive/backup root directory. There is not enough space in other drives also in OS level. How to solve the problem.
Regards,
Nabarun

hi narabun dada,
                            i think you have to use external  drive or tape drive to resolve this issue.

  • Low Disk Space for my backup drive. .

    The Disk Clean up options only brings up the recycle  bin to empty out.  Which most of the time is already empty. 

    A reset will sometimes fix such issues. Tap an hold the Home button and the Sleep/On/Off buttons at the same time for approximately 10 - 15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. No content or settings will be affected.

  • Finder fails to open when starting up macbook pro due to low disk space (possibly)

    Dear forum,
    I have a Macbook Pro (13") running snow leopard and have a partitioned hard drive (half OS X and half Windows 7). This morning I was using the Mac side and was running low on disk space (very low) so I was moving desktop files into folders to free up some space. I restarted the computer to see what the free space was but the computer stopped/froze at the desktop image (no folders or dock appeared. I restarted the computer many times but the finder never opens and all I see is the desktop wallpaper. I donnected usb drives and put in dvds but the finder never appears so I cn do nothing but shut down and start up.
    I ran Disk Utility but it found no problems with the disk. I do not have a backup of the important file forlders on my drive and due to low disk space I am worried to reinstall and archive the OS since there may not be enough disk space to archive (only about 220 mb free on the apple side when I am in windows using bootcamp).
    Does anyone know what happeded to my machine? Is there such low disk space that finder had an issue? I have started on such low memory before.
    What does Archive actually do when reinstalling OS X? Does it make a copy of the HD files and folders or does it simply reinstall the operating system piece by piece while protecting the files and folders that I wish to save?
    Thanks for all your help and sorry for the length of the writing (I wanted you to understand all before replying).

    Solved
    By chance I got itunes to pop up (running hands over keys blindly) and with it the apple menu icon so I had access to my recently used items and so I could delete images from iphoto and thus bring the free disk space up above zero and then the dock/folders and finder came back....I have just backed up my important files......feeling better now
    Any advice on how to more quickly handle this type of issue next time?
    Thanks.

  • Warning about low disk space on drive E

    Hi,
    I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My main drive i s C and there is also D (Factory image) and then the HP(E: ) one which is giving the warning about low disk space. When I look at what there is in drive E there is a folder called "my name"-PC with a lot of "Backup Set" folders/files in it, and then there is a folder called WindowsImageBackup and subfolder "my name"-PC.
    I know I have to clean out these folders but I ma very insecure as to what I can delete.
    I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advice in this matter!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    File History in Windows 7 is an extensive image backup of your drive which will steadily increase over time and needs to be cleared and suggest that you turn the feature off.  It is not very efficient.
    If you wish to delete this  Windows Image Backup file, you should disable  the automatic backup feature of Windows.
    Click on Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance> Backup and Restore.
    In the left pane, click on "Turn Off Schedule".
    From there you can delete the backup files on your E drive.
    I also suggest as an alternative, use Macrium Reflect Free every so often as it is more efficient and reliable.  It will make a complete image back up of your entire hard drive to an external hard drive.  Don't forget to create a rescue disk.
    Go to this site and do a Custom Install:

    I personally use the Professional Edition which gives me more flexibility and features.

  • Low Disk Space on Lenovo_Recovery (Q:) Partition

    Hello all. I have had a Thinkpad T410 for around a month now and I am loving it.
    Recently I have been getting a warning saying:
    Low Disk Space
    You are running out of disk space on Lenovo_Recovery {Q:}.
    Click here to see if you can free space on this drive.
    So, I click there to try and free space - there is nothing to delete to free space.
    If I go to Computer, it tells me that there is 7.37 MB free of 9.76 GB on the {Q:} partition. Upon double-clicking the {Q:} partition, only two things exist.
    TAYLOR-THINK (File Folder)
    MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
    Fair enough. I open up the TAYLOR-THINK file folder and see two more things.
    Backup Set 2010-06-21 015705 (File Folder)
    MediaID.bin (BIN File - Size of 1 KB)
    The Backup Set file folder contains 2.25 GB, which includes Backup Files from two different days.
    9.76 - 2.25 = 7.51 GB
    Something in the {Q:} recovery partition is using 7.51 GB of space but I don't know what?
    Help please!

    Please do and check the following;
    open R&R and select the option at the very bottom of the left column in the window, it should say something to the effect of "select advanced view" or something to that effect, sorry but I don't have a system a hand to look at. (Somrtimes the option is almmost half hidden - should be light blue text).
    It should then open a window offering more options than on the original screen. One of those options should be to set schedules and options for backups. Check here what the maximum number of backups is set to; if it's set to 3 change that entry to 4, apply and then click ok.
    After doing this please try running another backup and let us know what happens.

  • Low Disk Space Recovery Drive D

    My computer is an hp G60 121WM, which is Vista Home Premium running windows Vista 32 bit OS.  I messed up while in 'backup and restore' and sent the backup to the partitioned drive (D) used for system recovery.  Is there any way to access this drive or remove the mess I sent there?  It won't let me in by the simple route of trying to open it from the 'computer' dialog.  I can't use backup and restore now, and every time I boot up the computer I get the message that I have low disk space in drive D.  It's not a real problem (so far), but is very irritating.  And if I ever do need to do a restore (back to a previous automated backup) I'll be unable to do that.  I'll appreciate any help from more seasoned users.  Thanks
    ps.  I don't quite understand why hp recovery drive being full impacts windows backup and restore, so the problem with that may be coincidental.  You tell me.  As you can see, I'm not well versed in computer use!

    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
    http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    When installed, launch Free Commander, click the D partition in the toolbar and look for any files that obviously don't belong here, cut them out and paste to a location of your choice on the C Partition.
    After doing this, make sure that Windows Backup and Restore is directed to a new location.

  • What to do with low disk space warning?

    My Time Capsule is blinking amber because of low disk space. Isn't it supposed to delete the oldest files to make more room? What should I do at this point?

    Nothing. That warning is separate from Time Machine.
    It's useful if you're using your Time Capsule for other data, but Time Machine will take care of running out of room for backups all by itself.

  • How do i get rid of low disk space message popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc

    How do i get rid of low disk space message ( you are running out of disk space on Hp_Tools (E popup HP tools drive E on pavilion g7-1219wm notebook pc.  It is very annoying.  I am i school and I have noticed it since downloading different assignments from my college black boards.

    Thanks Banhien for your quick response.  However my system shows no backup schedule to disable.  I do have a 'Manage Space" link and a Turn on schedule link and change settings link along with Restore options with 3 options-' restore all user files- select another backup to restore files from and recover system settings on your computer.   If I click on 'Manage Space link',  it gives me the option to 'Select how disk space is used by Windows back up'- then there are two options:  'data file backup'-which indicates i can free up space by deleting file backups, and the other option is 'system image' which is greyed out.  Upon clicking on the option (view backups) under 'data file backup option'- it shows the current data file backups on my hp_tools (e the date of the file is displayed and the amount of usage- it gives me the option to delete- should I click the delete button?

    Hi,
    Please try:
    Click Start, type "Backup and Restore," and press Enter.  This brings up Windows Backup which is a little different than system protection.
    In the middle of the Window you should see that the backup is on a schedule.  Disable this.
    Save your changes.
    Delete the backup folder on the E:
    Reboot notebook and verify that this resolves the issue.

    Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Low Disk Space - Mini 110

    Recently the free space on my HD has suddenly disappeared but I haven't installed any new programs.  I have the 16GB solid state drive and originally had about 5GB of programs installed.  A couple of weeks ago I started getting low disk warnings but couldn't figure out why but deleted a few little used programs to free up space.  Went from 75mb free to 850mb then the next day I get the low disk warnings again, showing 160mb free. I lot almost 700mb overnight.
    Tried the Chat option and instead of fixing the problem had me change the Registry but instead of fixing anything only stopped the warning message.  Guess the logic is if you don't see a problem it isn't there.  Then he wanted me to delete Windows components.  I drew the line there, would free a few mb w/o fixing the problem,  After this suggestion I realized my Indian chap didn't have a clue.
    My firtst thought was a virus but I've done 3 full scans w/o finding anything.   Any ideas whats causing my hd free to disappear and possible solutions?

  • Low Disk Space...Yikes!

    Hi. I've had my iBook G4 for about a year or two now. I store everything from my thousands of songs on itunes to my thousands of pictures on my iphoto. Lately, I've been having trouble with my computer running slow because of my low disk space. It's very frustrating when you feel like you need to delete all your documents just to free up space. Is there any possible way of adding more disk space and keeping all of my songs/pictures/everything?
    please and thankyou!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It's dangerous to allow your disk to get too full--you risk a crash and the loss of everything. The real cure may be to install a bigger hard drive, and you can get one up to 320 GB in size.
    In the meantime, do you have a backup? You really need one.
    Have you emptied the trash? If no, do so. The trash occupies disk space until emptied.
    Very likely the music files and picture files are what is taking up most of the space. Documents take up very little space. So your best bet is to move your iTunes Library and your iPhoto Library onto an external drive.
    Not knowing how much free space you actually have, I hesitate to recommend that you download anything until you have freed up some space. Could you post back with how large your hard drive is, how much free space you have, and what OS you are using?
    I would recommend that you purchase a large capacity firewire external drive, and move your iTunes Library and iPhoto Library onto it. Once they are safely on the external, you can delete them from your internal and free up considerable space.
    A better long term strategy might be to get a larger capacity internal drive so that you can keep everything on it if that is what you would prefer. If you do that, you can use the large external for backup.
    If you have enough internal space left to download a cloning utility like Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner, you could do a bootable backup of your entire hard drive onto the external:
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    You can download either one and run it as much as you want to for free. If you want to unlock Super Duper's more useful features, you can register your copy for $28. CCC is donation ware.
    Again, if your drive is dangerously full, don't download anything until you have freed up some space.
    One strategy might be to get the external drive and use Disk Utility to partition it. One partition could be 320 GB for the bootable clone, should you decide to do one. The other should be at least the size of your internal drive, but it wouldn't hurt for it to be bigger. The second partition would be for storing data files, and you could copy your iTunes Library and your iPhoto copy onto this partition. Once you are sure they are there and intact, you could delete them from your internal drive.
    Also, how old is your iBook, and does it still have its original hard drive? If so, the drive itself may be getting to the end of its useful life of 3-5 years, and it will be even more important to get your data onto another drive.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot Upgrade to ios 5 because of low disk space

    Hi!
    I can't upgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone or iPad because of low disk space on my MacBook Pro.  I've got my iTunes Library on an external drive so I assumed that the backup of my iPad and iPhone would occur on that device.  Is there a way to modify the settings for the upgrade that will backup my iPad and iPhone to my external drive instead of my MacBook Pro so that I can install iOS 5?  My iPad has approximately 35 GB of items that need to be backed up and the solid state drive on my Mac Book Pro has only about 8 Gb left (out of my tiny 128 Gb drive).
    Thanks for any assistance!

    Thanks to info about OmniDiskSweeper on another thread, I was able to free up sufficient space on my Mac Book Pro to allow me to do the upgrade successfully for both my iPad 2 and my iPhone 3GS.  However, it would be nice if Apple offered an option to backup these devices to an external disk rather than a default location.

  • Prevent automatic removal of the Spotlight index due to low disk space

    I am guessing that when disk space runs low, it automatically deletes the Spotlight index to make room for virtual memory. Then when space becomes available it reindexes. But I'm not sure about that.
    Since my MacBook Air SSD is only 128 GB, I often work with little free disk space and the re-indexing drives me crazy.
    I tried to disable Spotlight, remove its index and reindex. Also check filesystem and repair permissions. In diagnostic reports (~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/) nothing about reindexing is mentioned.
    You can say that I should control the amount of free space but also should be another way. Disabling Spotlight isn't the option.
    Crosspost: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/37321/prevent-automatic-removal-of-the- spotlight-index-due-to-low-disk-space

    You can say that I should control the amount of free space .....
    Then I will
    See if you have Time Machine Local Backups taking up space, and turn it off with:
         sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Also consider turning off hibernate mode

    Not sure if that's the case, but low disk space can be causing issues.  What % of your HD is free?
