PRICING

Flexible pricing to simplify data protection

The pricing model for Azure Backup has two components:

  • Protected instances: This is the primary billing unit for Azure Backup. Pay for the number of instances that are protected with the Azure backup service.
  • Storage: Choose between locally redundant storage (LRS) or geo-redundant storage (GRS) for your backup vault. The net price depends on the amount of data stored with the service.

These two components appear as separate line items on your monthly Azure bill.
