Overview

Each Skyvia Backup plan includes a fixed storage quota. Once this limit is reached, no further backups, whether scheduled or manual, will be executed until storage is freed or the plan is upgraded.

Autoclean Availability by Plan

Storage Management Options

Option 1: Enable Autoclean (Standard plan and above)

Autoclean automatically removes old snapshots based on rules you define, ensuring storage never fills up unexpectedly.

To enable:

1. Go to Account → Subscription.
2. Find your Backup plan and click Storage details.
3. Toggle Autoclean to enabled.
4. Configure which snapshots to retain (e.g., keep only the latest).

You can review current storage usage at any time in the Storage Manager.

Option 2: Delete snapshots manually

You can delete snapshots directly from the backup interface without enabling Autoclean.

• Multiple snapshots: Open the backup → Overview tab → click Clean up → choose to delete all except the latest, or snapshots before/between specific dates.
• Single snapshot: Open the backup → Snapshots tab → click Clean up → select the snapshot(s) to delete.

Option 3: Delete the entire backup

If the backup is no longer needed, move it to Trash or click Delete. Backups remain in Trash for 2 weeks and can be restored during that period. After 2 weeks they are permanently deleted.

Option 4: Upgrade your plan

If storage management alone is not sufficient, upgrade to a higher storage tier to avoid recurring interruptions. See available Backup plans to compare storage quotas.

Enable Email Notifications

Skyvia can notify you when a backup fails or when your storage is nearing its limit. These notifications are disabled by default. To avoid unexpected interruptions, enable them in Account → Notifications.

For more details, see the Email Notifications documentation.
