You can see the amount of available disk space you have on your MySecure.Space client area. The amount you see there is updated approximately every 10 minutes.
Via SFTP
To determine in a script how much available disk space you have, use the program “sftp” in Linux-based systems:
echo "df" | sftp <username>@<username>.your-storagebox.de
echo "df -h" | sftp <username>@<username>.your-storagebox.de
echo "df -hi" | sftp <username>@<username>.your-storagebox.deVia SSH
As an alternative, you can also use the extended SSH service to see the disk usage:
ssh -p23 [email protected] df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
uXXXXX 100G 17M 100G 0% /homeYou can use the argument -m to get the output in megabytes:
ssh -p23 [email protected] df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
uXXXXX 102400 0 102399 0% /homeVia LFTP
Under certain circumstances, lftp can return incorrect values; therefore it is better to use the variant with sftp. Below is the variant with lftp:
# apt-get install lftp
# echo du -hs . \
| lftp -u <username>,<password> BACKUPSERVERYou can also embed the command in Tartarus using a hook. To do this, insert the following lines into the Tartarus configuration:
TARTARUS_POST_PROCESS_HOOK() {
echo "du" | /usr/bin/lftp -u "$STORAGE_FTP_USER,$STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD" "$STORAGE_FTP_SERVER" | awk -v LIMIT=100 '$2=="." {print ((LIMIT*1024*1024)-$1)/1024 " MiB backup space remaining"}'
}
