Does anyone else have the need to limit by policy  the amount of
data that a given client can store in a server?

We would like to give each user a quota and then charge for all
above the quota.  As I see it one could have a soft quota where
some action happened like a note to the system administrator and/or
the client registered address is sent.  When the hard quota is
hit, then all backups are terminated....

I am not worried if there is overrun of the hardquota for a small
amount, say all of a given transfer.

What says the populus?

Yes, we would certainly like to have this option.
