I forgot (or never noticed) the storage restriction in the free version. I completed a 262GB hybrid backup with no problems, including several update runs. Then I started a different, cloud-only backup and was blocked by the restriction.
I have no objection to the limit and will be happily shelling out for the Pro version in a few minutes. This is just to report that apparently the restriction is not being enforced for hybrid backups.
(This is in the pre-5.9 version. I only just now noticed the new version available. I don't know what version I'm running because I can't find "About Cloudberry" in the menus ... but I know I haven't updated in the past week.)
Thanks for bringing this up, this is most likely due to local backups not being taken into account for that free edition limit. We need to check if it can be reproduced internally.
Feel free to activate the trial version with 15 days of full functionality to test the software before you buy it.
