The Backup & Recovery Selected Size Check is available for Windows and Macs running Backup & Recovery. It is a Daily Safety Check that monitors the backup size of the selected plugins (data sources) based on completed sessions.
The Backup & Recovery Selected Size Check fails and generates an alert (depending on configuration) if the entered threshold value (GB or percent) is exceeded:
- Selection for one or more plugins increases by % per day
- Selection for one or more plugins exceeds specified GB per day
The Backup & Recovery Selected Size Check is a soft alert, rather than a hard quota. It highlights changes to the selections' size and does not affect the backups themselves.
Backups continue to run even if this check is in a failed state.
