I am using a Ready-NV NAS device for backup storage.  It has four WD 250GB drives in Raid for 500GB of storage.  The backups are configured using the SBS backup wizard.  I go through the wizard and tell it to send the backups to the [Backup] folder on the NAS device

The backups run fine but when it comes time to purge the older backups, (we keep ten) it dumps them into a [recycle bin/backups] folder that is on the NAS device.  This inturn causes backups to fail when the NAS gets full.  Is the moving of older backups to the recycle folder a SBS function or is it a NAS function?  For example; If I told the SBS backup to save to a location on the server would it do the same thing?  Create a [Backups] folder in the [Recycle Bin].

 

The backups are just under 30GB each.

 

I also get files with names like this in the recycle bin folder on the NAS:

These are all 0kb in size.

 

A7B4G5J1.BJ3

Copy #1 of A7B4G5J1.BJ3

Copy #2 of A7B4G5J1.BJ3

Copy #3 of A7B4G5J1.BJ3

and onward .... 

 

until I delete them, then it starts over.  The are generated each day with 69 to 70 enteries per day.

 

I would rather the older backups that are purged not by saved at all and just deleted.

 

I have a feeling this is a NAS function causing all this, but I want to be sure before I rebuild the NAS device.
