So I want to store my large files locally on a backup harddrive instead of pushing them and storing them to a remote server. I basically want that backup harddrive to act as the remote server.

I have tried doing this:

git config lfs.storage /absolute/path/to/local/storage

However, when I push changes to remote repository it seems to be trying to uploading them to remote server, I get this error:

batch response: This repository is over its data quota. Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.

failed to push some refs to ‘https://github.com/user/repoGitLTF.git’

I am not trying to upload them to the remote server, just save them locally on the backup harddrive (which is not the same location as the local repository), but otherwise push all other changes to remote repository.

Any ideas on how to achive this?
