Challenge
Disk RECOVERY is running low on free space
Cause
| Volume Size (MB) | Free Space Limit (MB) |
|---|---|
| up to 524 | 52 |

| 1074 to 2146 | 525 |

During the backup job session, Veeam Agent checks volumes to ensure there is enough space for the job to run:
- If free space is less than the free space limit, the backup job fails.
- If free space is less than the free space limit multiplied by 2, the backup job finishes with a warning.
Solution
- Free space on the volume.
- Increase the volume size.
- Run regedit.exe.
- Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam EndPoint Backup key.
- Add the following value under the key:
- Name: DisableVolumeFreeSpaceCheckWarning
- Type: REG_DWORD
- Value: 1
- Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Services.
- Restart the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows service.
