Notes for the above example:
- There are a total of 6 systems using EZ-Backup and being charged to this account.
- The storage quantities listed here are for compressed data that is being stored on the EZ-Backup server. The data is compressed by the workstation before being sent to the EZ-Backup server. The actual amount of data being backed up (uncompressed) is probably much more. Compression rates will vary, depending on the type of data that is being stored.
- DONNA, JANET, KAREN, MIKE, and PAUL all have less than 50 GB of total compressed data each, and are therefore charged the minimum of $5.50.
- JANET is using 200MB of archival storage. Her total of both backup data and archived data is still under 50 GB, so she is charged the minimum of $5.50.
- ROBERT has more than 50 GB of compressed data and is therefore charged an extra $0.41 (for 20.5GB at $0.02 per GB) for the amount of storage in excess of 50 GB.
