Dear All,

 

I would like to see your kind advice on the CV cloud storage issues. With CV cloud no longer offer unlimited data storage, how do you manage the storage size?

 

  1. Currently  i have 29 TB of data (365 email, sharepoint, onedrive, where 80% of the storage used is from 365 email).
  2. The above is 3 years plus of data, my current retention policies is unlimited. Max that i can set is 7 years due to business requirement for certain group of users. Other users i can set a shorter retention policy. But CV cloud doesn’t allow setting different retention policy for different group of user.

How do you all 

  1. Manage the backup size
  2. Store your backup, do you use other storage for your CV cloud?

Hi,

yes, that’s a problem. I don’t think it’s possible to use your own storage for M365 backups, but it’s possible to use different backup plans. Unfortunately, as it comes to storage capacity charges, both active (live data) and inactive (deleted files, emails etc.) are counted as total.

 

To quickly free up the capacity you may consider removing some content. By simply switching resource to other backup plan, you want change much, since older backups will be kept based on the previous retention. 

 

Also you may consider some additional exclusions at M365 plan level.
