83 Setting Up the Dell™ DR Series System as a CIFS or VTL Backup Target on CommVault Simpana |

4 Setting up the DR Series system cleaner
Performing scheduled disk space reclamation operations are recommended as a method
for recovering disk space from system containers in which files are deleted, as a result of
deduplication.
The cleaner runs during idle time. If your workflow does not have a sufficient amount of
idle time on a daily basis, then you should consider scheduling the cleaner to force it to
run during a scheduled time.
If necessary, you can perform the procedure shown in the following screenshot to force
the cleaner to run. After all the backup jobs are set up, the DR Series system cleaner can
be scheduled. The DR Series system cleaner should run at least 40 hours per week when
backups are not taking place, and generally after a backup job has completed.
