You could implement the same idea where you identify which backups belong to a specific user and then determine how much disk space they were using. Then, if they exceed their quota, you could deny the backup. You could use the pre-dump command to figure out disk usage but I don't think it can stop the backup. Of course, you could modify the backuppc source code. A rude method would be to use cron to schedule the backups in which case, the cron entry would be another script that first determines eligibility. - Wade ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
