[Box Backup] bbackupquery reports 188% used

[Jonas Lundgren]

Well, it's supposed to be <1gb, but, i recently changed some stuff in 
the conf file, and replaced a '=' with a '(' by accident, so it tried to 
backup my whole ftproot, i have never changed the accound size.

Before the last backup it was at 1.5gb, after it was finished (noticed 
it today), it was at 20GB.. So it tried to upload like 200GB of data in 
one connection..

My question is just, why didn't it disconnect when it hit 100% usage, 
why did it continue to upload 188%?

And, can i somehow delete this from the backup? Or do I have to set the 
accound hard limit to like 1MB and let it clean itself up?
