Message: The free Repository space on ApplianceName has fallen below allowable limits. onQ expired oldest PercentageExpired of backups (total of NumberOfExpiredBackups) for each Protected Node in order to recover space: NumberOfExpiredByPN.

Cause: onQ has a built‑in purge policy whereby if its repository disk space utilization exceeds 85% onQ begins to “free up” space by deleting PN backups, starting with the oldest backups. In this case, this threshold was reached, so onQ began deleting PN backups, starting with the oldest backups.

Solution: Delete orphan backups manually, reduce retention period, or remove a node for which you don’t need protection. Contact Sales to discuss options for expanding disk space.
