August 30, 20214 yr I am wanting to make a backups share for my 13TB nas. My plan is to use some auto imaging software to make regular backups to this share. But the thing is, I only want it to allow up to one terabyte of data in this share before the program is forced to delete old backups, Is there a way to make a share have a maximum size of one terabyte?

September 1, 20214 yr Author Well the software I'm planning on using (macrim reflect) does this based on a max disk size. If there is less than x space on the disk its imaging to, then it deletes old backups

September 2, 20214 yr Community Expert You could actually put a 1TB disk in your array, exclude it from User Shares in Global Share Settings, share the drive on the network and let your software use that shared disk.
September 2, 20214 yr Community Expert There are other ways to get Macrium to delete old backups. You can tell it to only keep a certain number of backups.
