What is home storage?
Home storage is storage located in the XMission facility that is available to customers for shell, ftp, and web services via user.xmission.com.
How much storage is there per customer?
The base quota is 50 gigabytes. You can buy additional gigabytes if needed.
How can I see how much quota & usage I have?
On shell:
/usr/local/bin/homequota
How do I access this storage?
You can use shell services, ssh/sftp, or ftp services to transfer files in and out of your home storage.
What are home snapshots?
Snapshots are a service that saves a state of the home storage every hour. Hourly snapshots are kept 24 hours. In addition, daily and weekly snapshots are made. Snapshots are useful if you accidentally delete or overwrite an important file. Currently, snapshots of files are only accessible to XMission staff. Please send a request to support@xmission.com if you need a file or directory recovered.
Keep in mind that until the snapshot of your deleted file expires, it will still count against your quota. There is no way to delete this without removing the snapshot for everyone. Files in snapshots are read-only.
