Backups will now be disabled when you go over quota

Hi, If you don't use BitFolk's backup service then you can ignore the rest of this email. For a very long time we have allowed customer backups to go past the quota and still continue working, arranging at a later time to fix that situation (by the customer asking for some backed up data to be deleted or else ordering more storage for backups). This is now changing so that backups will stop happening once the quota is exceeded. Nagios alerts have always been sent out as WARNING at 95% of quota and CRITICAL at 99% of quota. There is also a Nagios check for age of backups and that will start to fire when there has been no successful backup for a certain amount of time¹. Those whose backups get suspended for being over quota will start to receive that one. So, if you are currently receiving these alerts you do need to do something about it. Customers who are already over their backup quota at the moment have already been contacted via support ticket, but in future we may leave it down to you to get in touch. Cheers, Andy ¹ The time scales for those alerts depend on the backup schedule in use. For those having a backup run every 4 hours (the default) it's a WARNING after 10 hours and CRITICAL after 24 hours. -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
