Picking up on this old discussion. Can you elaborate onnumber 3.  Full backups and antifvirus file scans come to mind.    "3) Replay sizes can be drastically affected by settings in backup, anti-virus, or even database configurations. Anything that touches all the blocks can cause bloated replays and can cause this type of problem - you would want to eliminate these problems FIRST.

Hey all,  The title pretty much states the problem I'm having - we have SSDs in Tier 1, 15K in Tier 2, and 7.2K in Tier 3. We've got DBs running on volumes in Tiers 1 & 2, and the other servers running on volumes in Tiers 2 & 3.  Our Tier 2 keeps filling, and it looks like a ton of space is being used by replays from both sets of volumes.   Is there any way to force replays to be stored in Tier 3?  I understand that since we are using Tiers 1&2 for our DBs that those replays would be stored there, but even the server replays are being stored in Tier 2 and not progressing down to Tier 3 before active/new data starts getting written to Tier 3 since there isn't space left anywhere else.  Then the performance lags for obvious reasons.  It seems like very few of the replays are actually being placed in Tier 3..  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!
Tiers 1 & 2 are full - replays taking up the space
