The complement to your backups
When a device holds more data than the plan covers
Every Zamak backup plan already comes with a per-device volume allowance: servers up to 1 TB, workstations up to 200 GB, and Microsoft 365 per user. In most cases, that covers everything. But a file server that grew over the years, or a workstation full of heavy projects, can hold more data than your plan's allowance. The Volume Add-on covers exactly that excess, by the gigabyte, without you having to switch plans, and Zamak tracks the volume of each device so you are never surprised on the invoice.
Servers: up to 1 TB included in the plan's allowance.
Workstations: up to 200 GB included in the allowance.
Microsoft 365: per user, with its own volume allowance.
Do you know which of your servers and workstations have already passed the plan's allowance, and are holding data beyond proportional coverage?
What it is
The Volume Add-on, in one sentence
It is the extension of backup coverage, charged by the gigabyte, for the volume of data a server or a workstation protects above the allowance included in the plan. It is not a new plan nor a separate product: it is how you extend, in a proportional and transparent way, the coverage you already have, exactly to the measure of what each device actually holds. It covers the data volume of servers and workstations, not the cloud storage space nor the history retention, which stay included in your plan.
Covers only what exceeds
It measures the source-data volume that passes the plan's allowance. You pay for the difference, not for the device's total.
By the gigabyte, without switching plans
Coverage grows to the exact measure of the data, without forcing you to jump to a plan larger than you need.
Pooled across the company
The allowance is pooled across your devices, so a smaller machine offsets a larger one, and you pay for the volume of the whole.
When you need it
The cases where data passes the allowance
Volume does not vanish, it grows. Here are the situations where a device tends to hold more data than the plan's allowance covers:
The file server that grew
Years of contracts, projects and documents pile up. A server that started small easily passes 1 TB without anyone noticing.
The workstation full of heavy files
Engineering, design, video and heavy technical files fill a workstation fast. Passing the 200 GB allowance is the norm in those roles, not the exception.
The database that keeps growing
A management system or a database gains records every day, and the protected volume rises with it, quietly.
The company that grew all at once
A merger, a new team or digitizing an archive makes the data volume jump in a way the initial allowance never planned for.
How billing works
Transparent, proportional and no surprises
The Volume Add-on is measured automatically over the volume of selected data at the source, that is, the real size of what each device protects. Whatever passes the plan's allowance is extended by the gigabyte and shows up clearly on the proposal and the invoice. Because the allowance is pooled across your devices, you only pay for the volume your company, as a whole, holds beyond what is included.
What stays included, at no extra cost
- The cloud storage of your backups, across a network of certified datacenters.
- Up to 7 years of history retention, with search and export.
- The encryption and immutability of the copies, that is, copies no one can alter or delete, not an attack nor a compromised administrator.
- Monitoring, recovery testing and Zamak's support during business hours.
The Volume Add-on measures the size of the protected data at the source. It is not a storage fee nor a retention fee: the stored space and the long-term history stay included.

Why Zamak
No one should learn they outgrew the allowance on the worst day
Zamak keeps track of the data volume of each server and workstation it protects, and adjusts the coverage as your environment grows, in a proportional way agreed with you. It is the backline that makes the backup keep pace with the business, adding to the work of whoever already runs your environment, never taking their place. That way, no device ends up half-protected just because it grew beyond the plan.
