Calculate Cost of Azure Backup
Cost of Azure Backup is a reliable, inexpensive and scalable data protection solution for backing up on-premises data to the cloud.
Safeguard your critical business data with zero capital investment and minimal operational expense.
The price of Azure Backup is dependent on the size of each protected instance. Azure Storage is a separate charge. Customers have the flexibility to choose between
-
LOCALLY REDUNDANT STORAGE (LRS)
-
ZONE REDUNDANT STORAGE (ZRS)
-
GEOGRAPHICALLY REDUNDANT STORAGE (GRS)
-
READ-ACCESS GEOGRAPHICALLY REDUNDANT STORAGE (RA-GRS)

Azure Backup Example
Assume a Windows Server that is used for file sharing of office documents and PDF files, which has a total file size of 400Gb.
Backup Protected Instance |
400Gb |
US$10 for protected instance |
Storage Cost for the Full Backup |
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) |
400Gb x US$0.024 = US$9.60 |
Data Changes between Backup |
20% of Data |
0.2 x 400Gb = 80Gb |
Backup Schedule |
|
50 copies |
Total Disk Space required for a Backup Retention Period |
50 copies |
80Gb x 50 copies = 4000Gb |
Total Disk Space After Data Compression |
10% |
4000Gb x 0.9 = 3600Gb |
Storage Cost for the Incremental Backup |
3600Gb x US$0.024 = US$86.40 |
