We have incremental backup copy jobs failing due to lack of free space during index restore; I was reviewing the Index cache and noticed F:\IndexCache\CV_SnapMetadata\2\3568\1737471697 showing over 239GB of metadata. From what I understand this folder will have all the indexing metadata from all the Intellisnap incremental jobs; this specific job have not had a full backup(I am investigating the reason) for some time. If I were to take new full backup what will happen during the backup copy; would it still try and restore historical incremetal index data as historical incrmental backups have not copied across or because this is a new full it will only copy the most recent backup copy.
What if I manually delete the old snapshot and just keep the most recent would that avoid incremental backup copies and just copy the full backup without restoring index and would it clean up this metadata
