AvePoint Cloud Backup provides two primary subscription models for Microsoft 365 services:

Per-GB Subscription: Protect unlimited users with a fixed per-GB rate. The backup scope is measured weekly based on Microsoft 365 object data size. Note that large data volumes may increase processing time. For details on how storage is calculated under the Per-GB subscription, refer to the corresponding FAQ in License and Subscription.

Per-User Subscription: Protect unlimited content across your organization with a fixed per-user rate, based on assigned Microsoft 365 user seats. For details, refer to .

If you have ever included the Recordings folder in backup, the size of the Recordings folders will be counted in the subscription consumption thereafter.

Note the following:

For Exchange Online service, the mailboxes in the report will be distinguished by their mailbox types, such as User, Shared, In-Place Archive, and Resource. You may find a difference in the data size of the in-place archive mailbox when comparing it to Microsoft 365. This is because Microsoft displays the size of the entire in-place archive mailbox, while Cloud Backup for Microsoft 365 only accounts for the data size in the main archive folder. This difference will not impact the performance and effectiveness of your backup jobs.
