Backup space limit feature in node

[DEPSTRCZ]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues before opening this feature request.

Describe the feature you would like to see.

I would like to see a feature in "New Node Configuration" same as node disk but for max backup space. This will stop disk being overfilled when not looking into how much backups take..

Describe the solution you'd like.

New option in node creation.. Node checking how much space is left for backups

Additional context to this request.

No response

How would it work with S3 configurations though?

[DEPSTRCZ]

I dont know much about S3 but there will be for sure way.

S3 doesn't matter — we already track the size of files in the database.

This feels like a lack of planning on your own part. Just assume that:

• Each server will utilize 100% of the space you allocate
• Each backup will consume the same space as is utilized by each server
• Multiply by the number of backups you allocate

Limiting backup size is not a solution for lack of planning or proper configuration. What is the actual use case for this, as opposed to just reducing the number of backups a client can perform or eliminating backups entirely? All limiting the backup size will do is cause backups to run, waste CPU cycles and storage temporarily, and then fail when they are oversized regardless.
