Archiving Backup Files
If no space is available in the backup files disk directory, log backups cannot be performed. Check space availability regularly to ensure the backup files can always be written. Archive older backup files regularly to other backup devices.
If you use backup tools from other providers, you can automate the process for archiving backup files.
