  1. If the on-disk size is less than the backup plan that the client had then proceed with taking a fresh backup by creating a new disk safe and policy. After creating a new disk safely and policy kindly close the old disk.

  2. If the user data on the server is greater than the backup plan hard quota then raise a ticket to the client and ask him to upgrade his backup plan to the next level or exclude some unwanted files\/folders from his remote backup plan<\/a><\/strong> to run the backup successfully.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
