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
