With this update, you can see how much storage each company uses, helping you understand overall consumption patterns and identify where optimization may be needed. You can now customize the report to list each company\u2019s storage account, total storage used (in GB and %), and sort by destinations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make it easier to drill down into specific datasets, we\u2019ve added new filters: now you can sort data by storage accounts and companies, with multi-selection support. This update marks a significant step toward simplified, more efficient storage management and optimized billing procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-61577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50.png\" alt=\"storage usage\" width=\"1366\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50.png 1366w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50-1024x720.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50-768x540.png 768w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50-624x439.png 624w, https:\/\/www.msp360.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/download-50-100x71.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1366px) 100vw, 1366px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notifications for Events from Audit Log<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In MSP360 Managed Backup 8.8, we\u2019ve added the ability to configure notifications for specific audit log events, enhancing security and giving users greater monitoring capabilities.
