o365 exchangeonline mailbox one time backup

Question

Hello Everyone,we have migrated few mailboxes from on-prem to cloud, and we would like to backup these mailboxes one time for long term retention(diff retention from our regular jobs). we would assign o365 licenses, do a backup then remove o365 licenses.in my understanding, whether o365 license is removed, cvlt will continue to keep/protect the data based on retention set?Would commvault license continue to be counted or release along w/ o365 license?thank you for your feedback or recommendations.

@benvQ: in my understanding, whether o365 license is removed, cvlt will continue to keep/protect the data based on retention set?A: Correct, we will retain the data regardless of the mailboxes license statusQ: Would commvault license continue to be counted or release along w/ o365 license?A: You have to ‘Exclude from backup’ the mailbox from content or disable the mailbox from archive in order to reduce the CV License.ttps://documentation.commvault.com/11.22/expert/113055_disabling_user_mailboxes_for_exchange_mailbox_agent_on_premises_active_directory.htmlNote: You only see the ‘disable’ option in JAVA console. If you ‘exclude from backup’ using Command Center, this does the same thing.Regarding the license:https://documentation.commvault.com/11.24/essential/114734_office_365_components_in_usage_calculation_01.htmlRegardsChris
