Hello Commvault Community,
I would like to know about the type of operation in the /Base/JobControl directory and the contents stored there.
The environment runs on ServicePack 28 (Commvault Platform Release 2022E)
Scenario:
- I have a production server with a database CV agent installed
- Schedule Policy based on weekly full backups and frequent incremental backups (logs - 30 minutes for example)
- The backup jobs themselves perform and finish fine, they dont report any errors/failures
On the production server, in the /opt/commvault/xyz/base/jobcontrol directory, there are hundreds/thousands of small 1KB files called e.g. 0.01, 1.75, 2.35, etc., which are not cleaned up after the job is completed.
Some of these files are kept for many months and are not deleted.
What is in these files and should they be kept for so long or should they be deleted after the backup job is completed?
I am afraid that after some time the number of these files will grow so large that there will be no space.
Thanks,
Kamil
