Unlimited Storage

Veeam offers unlimited storage capacity to You. This means that You have access to a generous amount of storage space for backing up Your data securely.

Data Allowance

Your account is allocated a monthly data allowance ("Data Allowance") per licensed user, and varies by protected workload. This Data Allowance is provided to ensure that You can effectively back up their essential data without encountering limitations.

  • Microsoft 365: 100GB per licensed user
  • Microsoft Entra ID: 15GB per licensed user
  • Salesforce: 5GB per licensed user

While Veeam offers unlimited storage, You must adhere to reasonable usage patterns. Excessive use is defined as exceeding 300% of the allocated Data Allowance across all users.
