Hello,

When purchasing a permanent sandbox from Acumatica, will it be fine if the storage is less than production? I would think yes because that is the case for the free upgrade sandbox. Adding sandbox storage to match production adds significant cost and takes us out of our price range. 

Thanks!

Acumatica SaaS team confirmed that a paid sandbox is allocated the same amount of storage as production, so additional storage isn’t necessary.

This might be a question to ask your Acumatica CSM.  I know on the price estimating form for certain customer types you can pick a “S” transaction level sandbox with lower processing power if you have a “M” transaction level customer, since you won’t have the same volumes of transactions going on (usually).  And I don’t see why you couldn’t have a snapshot without attachments in the sandbox to keep the size down.
