Problem description
The disaster recovery (DR) job fails with an AWS_DR24 error.
Cause
The free disk space on the root drive has reduced to less than 250 MB.
Traceback
[2018-10-17 02:19:01,797] [INFO] CloudDRAgent: Import image task id [import-ami-0ff89ecd8ae9517b1], status [deleting] message [ClientError: Unsupported: Not enough free disk space to proceed with import.

Resolution
Perform housekeeping of the disk or add more disk space to the drive.
Verification
Trigger a VM backup first and then trigger the AMI update to get a successful DR job.
💡 Tip
Amazon also recommends that the virtual hard disk must contain at least 250 MB of free space. The reason for this is that Amazon injects drivers and possibly other software into the virtual hard disks, so the virtual hard disks need to have enough free space to accommodate these components.
