This page describes pricing and billing of backups per GB in a datacenter, which was introduced in Abiquo 6.1.
In Abiquo 6.1, you can activate the Backup GB usage in the platform in Configuration view on the Billing tab, as for other usage types.
The platform obtains size of the backup from the backup results. In this initial version, Abiquo supports Backup GB for Veeam.
To bill users for their backups, edit your pricing models and set a price for Backup per GB for your datacenter on the Resource prices tab.
To generate the backup billing data, the platform sums the total storage occupied by a backup (from the backup system), divides by time that the backup is valid (not expired), and then applies the price of Backup GB.
