Disk Quota Configuration

[bcssomadude]

When you setup a new backup set or member, or if you view a member's properties, you can see the disk usage configuration. It goes something like this:

 

Use at most XX GB or XX percent.

 

Now, each percentile contains different ranges of disk space, thanks to rounding. Do I make sense so far?

 

Here's my fun question: Which one takes precedence? And is there a precedent even coded in?

 

If I type in 12 GB, the program automatically generates 1%. However, If I type on 1 percent, the program generates 9 GB. I want 12 GB. So if I leave 12 GB as the last entry I typed in, does the program take that information over the 1 still entered in the percentile field? It doesn't go back and change it back to 9 GB later because of the percentile, does it?

 

I hope that made sense.

 

I really need clarification on this issue and I thank you for your help in advance.

You're right in that whatever you type in last, RS should be using and the figure calculated is just a rounded figure to it fits in the box. i.e. no decimal places in the % field.
