# How to Set a Storage Vault Quota

Setting a storage quota allows you to control storage growth and keep your billing predictable.

When a vault reaches its quota limit, **backups will stop automatically** until space is freed or the quota is increased.

### Step 1 — Open the Vault Management Page

From the **Client Area Dashboard**:

1. Navigate to **Backup Dashboard**
2. Click **Vaults** in the left menu
3. Find the vault you want to edit
4. Click **Manage**

This will open the **Manage Storage Vault** window.

### Step 2 — Configure the Quota

Inside the **General** tab:

1. Locate the **Quota** section
2. **Uncheck the “Unlimited” option**
3. Enter the desired storage limit
4. Select the unit (GB, TB, etc.)

For example:\
`500 GB` will limit the vault to 500 gigabytes of storage.

### Step 3 — Save Your Changes

Click **Save** to apply the new quota.

Your vault will now enforce the configured storage limit.

### What Happens When the Quota Is Reached?

When the vault reaches its quota:

* New backup data **cannot be written**
* Backup jobs will **pause or fail until space is available**
* This prevents the vault from using more storage than expected

To continue backups, you can either:

* Increase the quota, or
* Use the restore menu to delete older backup data to free up space
