Full Back up Problem (Disk quota Error)

Ngai Tat Ngan
Im a website owner, and i want to have a Full Back Up of my website (around 70 GB for all my email data). I know there is no sufficient disk quota for a full back up, and thats why Im asking web hosting to increase a certain amount of space to me. However, before requesting the space, I want to know if there any other problems i might face when i do a full backup? Could I do a full back up after i got enough disk quota? Thank you very much! Here is the log when I do a full back up in cpanel:

    While generating the backup server is taking load also as per the error message there is some quota issue with that account. Check the quota settings of that particular user.

    Also, can you let me know the size of the account you are trying to backup ?

    There are around 70GB i need to backup. Is that mean if I extend the quota, i will therefore successfully backup my account?

    Yes, You should be able to generate and store backups smoothly once you have sufficient space available.

    Hello, The backup can complete with additional quota, but note that 70G is a high amount of space for a single account. You may want to check with your hosting provider and verify if it's acceptable to backup the account. Thank you.
