Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 6a Teams graph export API costs

[Phil SB]

Trying to figure out the likely cost of using the new microsoft Teams Graph Export api's with version 6a. The Model B as shown for Microsoft Teams Export Graph API is not seeded. So would that mean it would read every team message every backup regardless of if it had previously been backed up. We backup our user once a day, but do not have E3 or E5 licenses. so if it was read every message every day it would be so costly that it would not be worth getting team chats. last 180 days 1(42,000 messages x $0.00075 = $106.5) so we have more than 2 years history in teams chat so would this then be 142000 x 4 (2 years) = 568000 x $0.00075 = $426 per day, or would it only be the messages updated from that day. This is not something we want to get wrong, so before trying the new 6a want to understand how this will work. Can anybody advise?

We don't read every message every day. We will only read the updated or new messages between two backups.

However, the first time will mean that all messages will be read (full backup).

Hope it helps

Many thanks,

Yes that is re-assuring, would not want to upgrade, then find huge bill landing. If we know what to expect that is fine.
