ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Install Empower 3 SR3 to resolve quota issues.

From SR3 release notes 
Prior to Empower 3 Service Release 3, projects created in Empower software received a fixed tablespace quota. Now, projects do not receive quotas, and can instead utilize as much disk space as needed, up to the limit of available drive space. This increases processing capabilities, as tablespace quotas no longer constrain result collection. It also improves performance, while Empower no longer inspects project quotas at login, or when creating, restoring, or cloning projects. Existing projects also receive unlimited quotas.

Warning: if the project tablespace runs out mid-acquistion this can lead to data loss or drop out. PC harddrive space or hardware quality issues could also cause data loss.
