what is "Other (non-K2000) data"?
We are getting ready to migrate from a physical K2000 with offboard storage to a virtual K2000. We only have about 400GB of images. However looking at the storage report, I see an insane amount of "other data" listed.
Storage Space:
69.95% full
K2000 data: 367.8 GB
Other (non-K2000) data: 3.4 TB
Free: 1.6 TB
Total: 5.4 TB
What is it?
I'm trying to size out my new offboard storage, and am trying to figure out if I really need all that space.

If I remember from what Corey told me that was petemp and uploaded files for post tasks. It was a few years ago so may be wrong
Follow this KB article Migrate to a new K2000, I believe you do not need to worry about PETEMP or cached files , just your Images, KBEs, drivers and Tasks:
--This Guide is useful when going from physical to virtual or virtual to virtual (different Host)--
Basically, you need to:
1-export your Images, KBEs, drivers, and tasks to the Samba Restore folder, via Settings > Package Management > Export SDA Packages
2-Copy them to somewhere else (your HDD or an external HDD)
3-Setup your Virtual Machine following one of the PDF guides (Hyper-V 2012 or VMware).
4-Get into the virtual machine Samba Share, and copy your exported packages into the Restore Folder
5-Go to Settings > Package Management > Import SDA Components and import them into the new one.
6-Re configure your network and LDAP (if any) settings.
