1024 - Managing an account's storage limit and overspill allowance – Redstor

A backup will complete with a warning if it exceeds the account's allotted storage use.

To fix this, in the Storage Platform Console, double-click the account name (or right-click > Change Account Size) and enter a larger number for the storage capacity of the account.

Backups and account moves are also blocked when the account's group's storage limit has been reached. (To read more about storage limits, see this article.) In other words, the backup service will not start to transfer data if the addition of the new data will cause the storage limit to be exceeded. You will see an error such as the following:

To avoid overspill errors for all accounts in a group, an allowed overspill percentage can also be specified. To do this:

In the Storage Platform Console, in the Account Management view, right-click the name of the group to which the account belongs and click Configure Group.
In the field Allowed Storage Overspill in the Admin tab, specify a percentage.

To configure an email notification to be sent in the case of an account going over limit, do the following:

In the Console, in the Account Management view, right-click the name of the group to which the account belongs and click Configure Group.
In the second tab, Notification, there is a Group Administrator text field where you can enter the email addresses of admins who need to receive a notification.
