Backup quotas

You can specify the cloud storage quota, the quota for local backup, and the maximum number of machines/devices/websites a user is allowed to protect. The following quotas are available.

Quotas for devices

• Workstations
• Servers
• Virtual machines
• Mobile devices
• Web hosting servers
• Websites

A machine/device/website is considered protected as long as at least one protection plan is applied to it. A mobile device becomes protected after the first backup.

When the overage for a number of devices is exceeded, the user cannot apply a protection plan to more devices.

Quotas for cloud data sources

• Microsoft 365 seats

  This quota is applied by the service provider to the entire company. The company can be allowed to protect Mailboxes, OneDrive files, or both. Company administrators can view the quota and the usage in the management portal.

  Public folders consume licenses from your backup quota for Microsoft 365 seats.

• Microsoft 365 Teams

  This quota is applied by the service provider to the entire company. This quota enables or disables the ability to protect Microsoft 365 Teams and sets the maximum number of teams that can be protected. For protection of one team, regardless of the number of its members or channels, one quota is required. Company administrators can view the quota and the usage in the management portal.

• Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online

  This quota is applied by the service provider to the entire company. This quota enables or disables the ability to protect SharePoint Online sites and sets the maximum number of site collections and group sites that can be protected.

  Company administrators can view the quota in the management portal. They can also view the quota, together with the amount of storage occupied by the SharePoint Online backups, in the usage reports.

• Google Workspace seats

  This quota is applied by the service provider to the entire company. The company can be allowed to protect Gmail mailboxes (including calendar and contacts), Google Drive files, or both. Company administrators can view the quota and the usage in the management portal.

• Google Workspace Shared drive

  This quota is applied by the service provider to the entire company. This quota enables or disables the ability to protect Google Workspace Shared drives. If the quota is enabled, any number of Shared drives can be protected. Company administrators cannot view the quota in the management portal, but can view the amount of storage occupied by Shared drive backups in the usage reports.

  Backing up Google Workspace Shared drives is only available to customers who have at least one Google Workspace seats quota in addition. This quota is only verified and will not be taken up.

A Microsoft 365 seat is considered protected as long as at least one protection plan is applied to the user's mailbox or OneDrive. A Google Workspace seat is considered protected as long as at least one protection plan is applied to the user's mailbox or Google Drive.

When the overage for a number of seats is exceeded, a company administrator cannot apply a protection plan to more seats.

Quotas for storage

• Local backup

  The Local backup quota limits the total size of local backups that are created by using the cloud infrastructure. An overage cannot be set for this quota.

• Cloud resources

  The Cloud resources quota combines the quota for backup storage and quotas for disaster recovery. The backup storage quota limits the total size of backups located in the cloud storage. When the backup storage quota overage is exceeded, backups fail.
