How the dump command deletes restartable backups automatically  Top

To prevent restartable backups from accumulating on a filer and taking up unreasonable amounts of disk space, the dump command automatically checks the level of use of the snap reserve every 10 minutes. If the snap reserve is over 100%, it deletes the oldest restartable backups until snap reserve usage drops below 100% or there are no more restartable backups to delete.
