 You can't set `maxfiles` limits for data protection volumes via a quota request. Azure NetApp Files automatically increases the `maxfiles` limit of a data protection volume to accommodate the number of files replicated to the volume. When a failover happens on a data protection volume, the `maxfiles` limit remains the last value before the failover. In this situation, you can submit a `maxfiles` [quota request](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md#request-limit-increase) for the volume.
