Hello,
I am back up my files to Google Bussines Unlimited Shared drive What can you do with shared drives? - G Suite Learning Center and it is Unlimited space, but, Duplicati gives me a message
Backend quota is close to being exceeded
2019-11-02 19:00:03 +01 - [Warning-Duplicati.Library.Main.Operation.FilelistProcessor-BackendQuotaNear]: Backend quota is close to being exceeded: Using 1.18 TB of 200.00 GB (110.40 GB available)
Which of these numbers are plausible? I don’t have your backup (see size on home page) or system. Does that oddly even 200.00 GB make sense in terms of a local drive in case its drive aim is wrong?
Can you find quota information from Windows, e.g. using File Explorer right click, Properties, Quota?
Do you have a system administrator who could have set a quota? If so, it’s odd that it’s not enforced.
EDIT:
Fix quota reporting with Google Drive backend #3601 is probably relevant if you’re using a Beta build. Testing latest Canary such as v2.0.4.34-2.0.4.34_canary_2019-11-05 might be interesting, but getting back to past Beta is awkward but possible. You could stay until next Beta or test on a different system.
I’ve run into this with Duplicati before, and in my case it wasn’t real storage usage, just how Duplicati reads quotas from Google. Even if the shared drive is “unlimited,” Duplicati sometimes sees the user account limit or a default cap and throws a warning. What helped me was double-checking that the backup was pointed to the shared drive (not My Drive), updating Duplicati, and disabling strict quota checks. The backup still ran fine despite the warning.
Unrelated, but when I was sorting out admin and account structure issues, I found some general business setup info useful on https://www.incorp.com/. It helped me understand how accounts and ownership can affect tools like this.
