-
The charge for the inSync service is measured based on the storage amount of the latest backup only for each computer and user. Only what's above 250GB is counted, and the price is 0.6₪ per GB over a total storage capacity of 500GB, including all backup history.
For example: If the latest backup takes up 350GB, and if the total storage including old backups reaches 550GB, the charge will be based only on 50GB (the difference between 500GB and 550GB). Therefore, the monthly cost would be 30₪ (50GB multiplied by 0.6₪).
