Offsite backups are designed to intelligently backup only those files that changed since the last backup.  That means the first backup is big, but every day after that should be much smaller.

Total offsite backup storage is calculated by adding together the space used by the first full backup with the 30 days of smaller incremental/daily backups.

Each server subscription includes a certain amount of offsite space.  If your storage requirements exceed the included space, a fee of $3/GB per month will be applied.

How offsite storage space is calculated

  • The total amount of data stored on the Biz server (common, corporate, accounting, all personal drives of all employees, and any mail server data if applicable) is 5GB.
  • For the last 30 days, on average about 0.2GB (or about 200MB) of data changes and is backed up offsite.
  • Therefore, the total storage used is 5GB + (0.2GB x 30 days) = 11GB. (There is approximately 1000MB in 1GB)
