Feature Request: Limit Repository Size

Post by JustinH »

It might be nice to have a way that would limit how large the backup repository will become.

I know there are alerts when it starts to run out of space but I think it could be helpful to have a hard limit option available esp when the backup is still on the default c: drive.

Justin,
two considerations:
- since the C: drive is also holding the operating system and the Veeam services, I would move the backup repository from there. Anytime it goes out of space, everything stops. With and additional drive, at most you hurt the backup operations but not the entire system
- you can use quotas of the underlying OS to limit a repository from growing
