Hi Tuelo A snapshot is a point-in-time copy of all your data which can be used as a seed (initial) backup (for example, onto external media) to save on transfer costs and allow business operations to continue while your full first backup to the Storage Platform is completed. Additionally, snapshots are encrypted for security purposes. How to do snapshot: 1. In the Backup Selection tab of the ESE Agent, select the data that you wish to protect. (To check the size of the backup once you have selected all the relevant data, click the Size button in the toolbar at the top.) 2. Insert a USB disk into the server or present it as a network share. 3. In the Agent, go to Tools > Snapshot > Export Backup Snapshot. 4. In the dialog box that appears, tick the box The next backup must be a Snapshot backup. To backup all the data from the Agent, also tick Force a full backup.

If there are Folders\Files that you can archive to an external drive and remove from the backup you can gain space. The other option is to get a larger drive.
