h6. Limits tab
The Limits tab allows file excludes, recovery point archiving, and control panels that you want to enable or disable. You can define a limit for your replication, recovery points, and archive points.
{info:title=Tip}When you assign a Disk Safe to a [volume|ServerBackup:Manage volumes], all the volume limits are applied to that Disk Safe. for this reason, the Disk Safe limits should be at least as restrictive as the volume. For example, if a volume has a recovery point limit set to 100, the Disk Safe can only contain 100 recovery points or less.
{info}
!Create New Disk Safe_Limits_English.png!
h6. Options
* *Allow File Excludes*. This option is selected by default. Activates the File Excludes feature for the Disk Safe. If you check this option, then the system allows you to specify the files and folders that you do not want to back up during the replication policy. By default, SBM replicates all file and folders from the selected devices. For more information about excluding files and folders, see [About exclusions] and [Exclude files and folders].
{info:title-Tip}You cannot activate this option if it is not activated for the volume to which the Disk Safe belongs.
{info}
* *Allow Recovery Point Archiving*. This option is selected by default. Activates the Archiving feature for the Disk Safe. If you check this option, then the system allows you to create archives of your data on a specified hour, day, week, or month. If the option is enabled, then you can specify the *Archive Point Limit* under *Data Retention*. For more information about archiving, see [Offsite Backup and Archival].
{info:title-Tip}You cannot activate this option if it is not activated for the volume to which the Disk Safe belongs.
{info}
* *Allow Control Panels*. This option is selected by default. Activates the Control Panels feature for the Disk Safe. This option allows you to back up and restore hosting control panel user accounts. for more information about control panels, see [Hosting control panels].
{info:title=Tip}You cannot activate this option if it is not activated for the volume to which the Disk Safe belongs.
{info}
{info:title=Tip}There is a system-wide option to enable the Hosting Control Panels feature (Configuration > Product features *Enable Hosting Control Panels* option under *Hosting Control Panels*). For more information about enabling the Hosting Control Panels feature, see [Enabling Hosting Control Panels Feature].
{info}
* *Allow Database Backups*. This option is selected by default. This option allows you to back up and restore all databases available on the server. If clear, the SQL Server, Exchange, and MySQL tabs are disabled while creating a policy.
* *Replication Limit*. This option defines the lowest replication frequency for that Disk Safe. For example, if you set the replication limit to *weekly*, then the policy assigned to that Disk Safe can only be weekly or higher (hourly and daily replications are restricted).
{info:title=Tip}The Disk Safe *Replication Limit* must be within the limits of the *Replication Limit* of the volume to which the Disk Safe is assigned.
{info}
\\
h6. Data Retention
* *Recovery Point Limit*. The maximum number of recovery points stored in the Disk Safe.
{info:title=Tip}The Disk Safe *Recovery Point Limit* must be within the limits of the *Recovery Point Limit* of the volume to which the Disk Safe is assigned. {info}
* *Archive Point Limit*. The maximum number of archive points stored in the Disk Safe.
{info}The Disk Safe *Archive Point Limit* must be within the limits of the *Archive Point Limit* of the volume to which the Disk Safe is assigned.{info}
h6. Quotas
* *Quota Type*. Select the type of quota assigned to the Disk Safe. Quotas are set to limit the disk usage of the Disk Safe. The limit is set on the basis of space occupied by Disk Safes or the size of deltas.
* *Soft Quota*. Select the value in bytes or in deltas. *Soft Quota* is a warning level that informs users that they are close to reaching their effective limit.
* *Hard Quota*. Select the value in bytes or in deltas. *Hard Quota* allows resources to be occupied by data. If the *Hard Quota* is reached, then the system forbids generation of new recovery points. The replication is interrupted and fails.
5. Click *Create*.
6. Once SBM displays the message that you successfully created the Disk Safe, click *OK* to close the window.

If you check this option, then the system allows you to specify the files and folders that you do not want to back up during the replication policy. By default, SBM replicates all file and folders from the selected devices. For more information about excluding files and folders, see [About exclusions] and [Exclude files and folders].
{info:title-Tip}You cannot activate this option if it is not activated for the volume to which the Disk Safe belongs.
{info}
* *Allow Recovery Point Archiving*. This option is selected by default. Activates the Archiving feature for the Disk Safe. If you check this option, then the system allows you to create archives of your data on a specified hour, day, week, or month. If the option is enabled, then you can specify the *Archive Point Limit* under *Data Retention*. For more information about archiving, see [Offsite Backup and Archival].
{info:title-Tip}You cannot activate this option if it is not activated for the volume to which the Disk Safe belongs.
{info}
* *Allow Control Panels*. This option is selected by default. Activates the Control Panels feature for the Disk Safe. This option allows you to back up and restore hosting control panel user accounts. for more information about control panels, see [Hosting control panels].
{info:title=Tip}You cannot activate this option if it is not activated for the volume to which the Disk Safe belongs.
{info}
{info:title=Tip}There is a system-wide option to enable the Hosting Control Panels feature (Configuration > Product features *Enable Hosting Control Panels* option under *Hosting Control Panels*). For more information about enabling the Hosting Control Panels feature, see [Enabling Hosting Control Panels Feature].
{info}
* *Allow Database Backups*. This option is selected by default. This option allows you to back up and restore all databases available on the server. If clear, the SQL Server, Exchange, and MySQL tabs are disabled while creating a policy.
* *Replication Limit*. This option defines the lowest replication frequency for that Disk Safe. For example, if you set the replication limit to *weekly*, then the policy assigned to that Disk Safe can only be weekly or higher (hourly and daily replications are restricted).
{info:title=Tip}The Disk Safe *Replication Limit* must be within the limits of the *Replication Limit* of the volume to which the Disk Safe is assigned.
{info}
\\
h6. Data Retention
* *Recovery Point Limit*. The maximum number of recovery points stored in the Disk Safe.
{info:title=Tip}The Disk Safe *Recovery Point Limit* must be within the limits of the *Recovery Point Limit* of the volume to which the Disk Safe is assigned. {info}
* *Archive Point Limit*. The maximum number of archive points stored in the Disk Safe.
{info}The Disk Safe *Archive Point Limit* must be within the limits of the *Archive Point Limit* of the volume to which the Disk Safe is assigned.{info}
h6. Quotas
* *Quota Type*. Select the type of quota assigned to the Disk Safe. Quotas are set to limit the disk usage of the Disk Safe. The limit is set on the basis of space occupied by Disk Safes or the size of deltas.
* *Soft Quota*. Select the value in bytes or in deltas. *Soft Quota* is a warning level that informs users that they are close to reaching their effective limit.
* *Hard Quota*. Select the value in bytes or in deltas. *Hard Quota* allows resources to be occupied by data. If the *Hard Quota* is reached, then the system forbids generation of new recovery points. The replication is interrupted and fails.
5. Click *Create*.
6. Once SBM displays the message that you successfully created the Disk Safe, click *OK* to close the window.
