BA2551: There is not enough free space on the storage location to back up the data

Error code Product Applies to
BA2551 BackupAssist For BackupAssist 10.3 or later.

Description

This error occurs when a System Protection backup does not have enough free space at the backup destination.

Resolution

Free up disk space on the backup destination. If this destination is shared with other data, remove or relocate the other data. If you cannot remove data, you should consider using a larger backup destination drive or device, and then update the job to use the new destination. Note: If you change the backup destination, the first backup job will be a full backup of all data - subsequent backups will be incremental.
