Versioning is killing our storage - is this a normal behaviour?
Hi everyone, we recently had to buy more storage (hands if someone else also had too). We knew that we have many mp4s and stuff on our sites. We then used a program to analyze the storage us...
This is standard behaviour. You can purchase additional storage at €2.04 gigabyte/year. This may be a short term solution because you will aggregate more and more versions that cost money. You will need to implement measures to control the growth and storage consumption.
Possible ways forward:
1. As Juan Carlos suggested reduce the number of versions.
2. Use the OOTB reporting to find storage "hotspots" and then delete all versions.
3. Use tools to find hotspots (and selectively purge major/minor versions) https://www.slimapplications.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Report-Document-versions.jpg
4. Use PowerShell scripts to find storage hotspots and purge obsolete versions.
