Scan Needed in Networker DDboost volume

Hi All,

I have a question and I hope anyone can help me.

We did a Disaster Recovery to migrate a Networker server, everything went well, backups running without problem, even successful restorations, we retrieved indexes with nsrck -L7, anyway.

Recently we are encountering certain things. Backups are made to Ddboost devices, and the DataDomain is filling up. Thoroughly investigating I see Volumes Disk in Scan Needed state, which is avoiding the recycling and recovery of space in these devices, I think that is why my DD is filling.

Looking for solutions, and taking the fact that we coming from a DR, I see that I have to launch a #scanner -m to update the media database with the exact volume information mounted there, right?

And after this, he would have to proceed to unmount the device, change his flag to Scan Not Needed, mount it and after all this, I will have to start seeing space claim in those volumes. I am right?

Also My Questions:

- Can the scanner -m be executed while backups are running? It is an environment with critical backups all the time.
- The backups made from the DR until the scanner is made, will be lost?

I hope I have explained myself and hopefully some help me out of the doubts.

It is an Networker 8.2.2.5 environment, about to be updated.

Thanks
