Unlike other resources like volumes, backup limits take into account the physical used size
189+
and not the allocated size of the backup. This is because the backup once taken can never
190+
grow into the allocated size. At the time of backup creation, Cloudstack doesn't know the
191+
size of the backup that will be taken, so it uses the physical size of the volumes to be
192+
backed up from Volume Stats to calculate the backup size for checking resource limits.
193+
If Volume Stats are not present, then the virtual size of the volumes is used to calculate
194+
the backup size, although the actual backup size may be less than the size use to do resource limit check.
