About Disk Space Maximums and Allocations

Note
Centralized Reporting Disk Space on Security Management appliances is used for both Email and Web data. If you enable either Centralized Email Reporting or Centralized Web Reporting, all of the space is dedicated to the enabled feature. If you enable both, Email and Web reporting data share the space and space is allocated on a first-come basis.

  • If you enable centralized web reporting but there is no disk space allocated for reporting, then centralized web reporting will not work until disk space is allocated.

  • Before reducing the Miscellaneous quota below current usage levels, you should delete unneeded data. See Managing Disk Space for the Miscellaneous Quota.

  • For more information about how disk space is managed for policy, virus, and outbreak quarantines, see Disk Space Allocation for Policy, Virus, and Outbreak Quarantines and Retention Time for Messages in Quarantines.

  • For all other data types, if you reduce the existing allocation below current usage, then the oldest data is deleted until all data fits within the new allocation amount.

  • If the new quota is larger than the currently used disk space, you will not lose data.

  • If you set the allocation to zero, no data is retained.
