Avamar Capacity limits and thresholds

80% — capacity warning issued

• When server utilization reaches 80%, a pop-up notification informs you that the server has consumed 80% of its available storage capacity. Avamar Enterprise Manager capacity state icons are yellow.

 95% — the “health check limit”

• This is the amount of storage capacity that can be consumed and still have a “healthy” server. Backups that are in progress are allowed to complete, but all new backup activity is suspended. A notification is sent in the form of a pop-up alert when you log in to Avamar Administrator. That system event must be acknowledged before future backup activity can resume. 

100% — the “server read-only limit”

• When server utilization reaches 100% of total storage capacity, it automatically becomes read-only.
