Reclaiming Space

Prev Next

This feature replaces a replicated file on the source (or all replicated files in a selected folder) with a nearline file(s) on the bucket. When space is reclaimed, the replicated file on the source becomes a stub file and points to the actual replica on the bucket.

A manual operation takes precedence over any automatically scheduled tasks or policies.

  1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to a source that is paired with a bucket.

  2. Right-click a folder or file to reclaim space.

  3. Hover over Wasabi Cloud NAS.

  4. Select Reclaim Space.

  5. If notification settings are enabled for the WCN Explorer, a tray notification will provide the job status. Once space is successfully reclaimed, both the file and the source folder containing the reclaimed file(s) are indicated by .
