Checking the storage space used on the server

From the machine being backed up

bbackupquery can tell you how much space is used on the server for this account.

Either use the usage command in interactive mode, or type

  /usr/local/bin/bbackupquery -q usage quit

to show the space used as a single command.

On the server

bbstoreaccounts allows you to query the space used, and change the limits. To display the space used on the server for an account, use

  /usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts info 75AB23C

To adjust the soft and hard limits on an account, use

  /usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts setlimit 75AB23C new-soft-limit new-hard-limit

You do not need to restart the server.
