# 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.
