51 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System as a CIFS or VTL Backup Target on EMC® Networker® | April 2015
5 Setting up the DR Series system cleaner
Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method for recovering
disk space from system containers in which files are deleted, as a result of deduplication.
The cleaner runs during idle time. If your workflow does not have a sufficient amount of idle time on a
daily basis, then you should consider scheduling the cleaner to force it to run during a scheduled time.
If necessary, you can perform the procedure shown in the following screenshot to force the cleaner to
run. After all the backup jobs are set up, the DR Series system cleaner can be scheduled. The DR Series
system cleaner should run at least 40 hours per week when backups are not taking place, and generally
after a backup job has completed.
