maicol07 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi,is it possible to increase the disk space of Tommy server? I can't host more of 4/5 sites due to the limited disk quota...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miwilc Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I find the 1G (1,000MB) limit quite fair, to be honest. Do you mind if I ask why you need more than that? Because most scripts (with databases) are ~50-100MB per site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maicol07 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 It's because every time Softaculous make a backup of all my installation it uses around 400-500 MB of space. My entire websites with only one copy of backup for installation on the server use around 500 MB. And so, everytime Softaculous make the backups, I have to delete the old ones... (I know there is a setting on the backup page that delete the old backups but I'd like to have at least 2 backups for installation...).So I ask if it is possible that Tommy can have some more space.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Giving users who think they need more storage space an increase is actually one of our top priorities for new features we're rolling out soon. Stay tuned. In the meantime have you considered writing a cron that automatically emails you the backup, and deletes it from the server?

bdistler Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 storing backup files on the server your are backing up is not the way to do itIF the server goes down you will not have access to the backup files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 One of your fellow users wrote up this guide that does something similar: http://wiki.helionet.org/Running_Auto_Backups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
