How capacity licensing detects overlap when multiple policies protect data

Users are charged based on the protected data size. If multiple backup copies are created using a single policy, only the first copy is considered for calculation. For example, if a copy created and stored on disk. The other copies are not charged to the user.

If multiple policies of the same type protect the same data, the capacity report identifies the overlap. The user needs to calculate the actual data overlap and then configure the policies considering this overlap. The user can then change the report based on the overlap. The overlap is only applicable to data that is reported with accurate licensing.
