Data cleanups on the IDrive BMR device

You can delete old and incomplete backups from the IDrive BMR device via cleanup.

To configure and schedule your cleanup,

1. Connect to the IDrive BMR device interface.
2. Click Cleanup on the RHS menu.
3. Set the Global filesystem quota limit at 80% (recommended) or as required. When the device storage crosses this limit, the device will suspend all operations and redirect to the cleanup maintenance page.
   
   
   
   
4. Schedule the cleanup operation in the Cleanup time window section. You can schedule cleanups daily or on weekdays/weekends by selecting the days and hours as required from this section. The device deletes old and incomplete backups as per the schedule and your backup retention settings. 

To perform a manual cleanup,

1. From the RHS menu, navigate to Statistics > Storage insight.
2. In the Storage section, select All, Computers, or VMware servers from Cleanup dropdown. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click Cleanup.
4. In the popup window that appears, click Confirm.
   Once these steps are completed, the manual cleanup operation will be initiated.
   Note: The device interface will be inaccessible for the duration of the cleanup.
