Cross Zone Replication
Azure NetApp Files Cross Zone replication feature allows you to replicate your Azure NetApp Files volumes asynchronously from one Azure availability zone(AZ) to another in the same region. It helps you protect your data from unforeseeable zone failures, without the need for host-based data replication. Cross-zone replication doesn’t involve any network transfer costs, and hence it is highly cost-effective.
Cross Zone Regional Replication
Azure NetApp Files Cross Zone Regional Replication combines the benefits of cross-zone and cross-region replication to deliver a robust disaster recovery and high-availability solution. This feature enables asynchronous replication of volumes across availability zones (AZs) and regions, providing multi-layered protection against both zone-level and regional failures. Cross Zone-Region Replication (CZRR) does not have separate pricing. It uses the same pricing model as Cross Region Replication (CRR) and Cross Zone Replication (CZR).
| Operation | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Backup | Total space consumed by Azure NetApp Files | $-/GiB/month |
| Restore | Total amount of back up capacity restored | $-/GiB |
