This requirement varies based on the number of backed-up Exchange (on-premises and online) mailboxes, the size of your SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business sites, and the retention period that you set for your backups.

Note: Make sure that you have downloaded the 64-bit version of RecoveryManager Plus if you wish to backup your Exchange and Office 365 environments.
