Running with unraid 6.7.2.  When using Acronis backup 2019 my backup size is 801.1Gb and the free space is 6Tb free on the server.  However it will error out with a not enough free space on destination drive.  Granted my cache pool is 180Gb with 99Gb free but when the cache pool gets low shouldn't it switch to the physical drive?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Why do you want an automatic backup process to write to a cached user share anyway? Are you sitting around waiting for it to complete? 

 

Whether or not cache will overflow a cache-yes share to the array depends on Minimum Free for cache in Global Share Settings.

 

But I don't see the point of caching Acronis anyway.

Yes, of course your correct. Late night I guess, and not thinking clearly. I simply removed the cache-yes and I assume it should now complete on its own.

If you set it to cache-no, and it already has data on cache, then that data still on cache will not be moved from cache. You can see which disks each user share is using by using the Compute feature on the User Shares page.
