hmm a script I guess could do the job. May be something that could calculate the amount of data used in your user folder with the same exclusions you set in the server sync rules. This way it could give you a real time update as to how much quota you had left on the server.

I guess the question would be how to get the sync rules into the script with out having to manually add them into it and manually update it each time you made a change.

I might be going down the wrong path with this but if you have any other ideas that would be great.

I have not looked at BRU, but herd it is not very friendly ( I may be mistaken). I am going through a similar issue at the moment were I need to move away from retrospect 6 because it can’t handle my data efficiently any more.

I was looking at a few products namely PresStore and Amanda. I have tried both PresStore is easy to work with once you play with it for a bit and works like a charm. Amanda I did not have as much luck with. I had issues setting it up so am staring towards PresStore. It has a price tag with it, but well worth it.

Just my two cents.

That seemed to work. Thank you for the help with this.

I now need to figure out how to get some sort of quota warning up for the users so they can see how much space they have available.

I have tried the quotamenubar program, but can only get it to show me the local hard disk percentages and not that of my server quota.

Thanks.

I am going to try this out today and see how it goes.

From what I can figure the quota set in server admin applied to a share point applies to the share point and not the user folders on the share point (I may be wrong). So what I see is that applying a 2gb limit to the share would give all the users 2gb of space to share instead of giving each user 2gb of data storage. Again I may be wrong about this.

From what I have read setting the quota’s in WGM only applies to non PHD users.
