To save disk space, you can configure Tonic Ephemeral to automatically delete both user snapshots and auto snapshots. There are separate settings for the different snapshot types.

By default:

  • Auto snapshots are deleted automatically after 7 days.

  • User snapshots are deleted automatically after 30 days.

You configure automatic deletion from the Usage Metrics page. To configure the automatic deletion:

  1. In the Ephemeral heading, click the usage summary.

  2. On the Usage Metrics page, click Disk Storage Settings. The Auto delete system snapshots after setting controls whether and when to automatically delete auto snapshots. The Auto delete user snapshots after setting controls whether and when to automatically delete user snapshots.

  3. For each setting:

    • To enable automatic deletion of the snapshots, toggle the setting to the on position. In the field, specify the number of days after which to delete the snapshots.

    • To disable automatic deletion, toggle the setting to the off position.

  4. Click Save.
