Storage considerations for save-while-active
The save-while-active function uses more disk storage than normal save operations.
As applications change the objects in a save-while-active operation, the system makes copies of the data that reach a checkpoint. The system could run out of available storage if the following happens:
- The data on your system uses a high percentage of the disk capacity.
- A large amount of the data changes during a save-while-active operation.
If the system sends messages that it is running out of storage, you should be prepared to stop the save operation or some applications.
The full synchronization option uses the most additional storage. The system-defined synchronization option uses the least additional storage.
