Prices are estimates only and are not intended as actual price quotes. Actual pricing may vary depending on the type of agreement entered with Microsoft, date of purchase, and the currency exchange rate. Prices are calculated based on US dollars and converted using London closing spot rates that are captured in the two business days prior to the last business day of the previous month end. If the two business days prior to the end of the month autumn on a bank holiday in major markets, the rate setting day is generally the day immediately preceding the two business days. This rate applies to all transactions during the forthcoming month. Sign in to the Azure pricing calculator to see pricing based on your current programme/offer with Microsoft.

Back up for Azure VMs
Prices listed below are applicable when backing up your IaaS VMs.
The size of the backed-up data determines the pricing for Azure Back up in each protected instance before compression and encryption.
- For virtual machines (VM), the size calculation is based on actual (used) size of VM. This is the sum of all data in the VM, excluding temporary storage.
- When backing-up files and folders, the size of the files and folders configured for back up determine the data size.
- When backing-up SQL Server, the size of the databases configured for back up determine the data size.
| Size of each instance | Azure Back up price per month |
|---|---|
| Instance < or = 50 GB | $- + storage consumed |
| Instance is > 50 GB but < or = 500 GB | $- + storage consumed |
| Instance is > 500 GB | $- for each 500 GB increment + storage consumed |
Note: Service launch in West India is on July 1, 2019. Billing starts on August 1, 2019
Example: If you have 1.2 TB of data in one instance, then the cost would be $- plus storage consumed. You would be charged $- for each of the two 500 GB increments and $- for the remaining 200 GB data.
Back up Storage
Backup Storage is an auto-scaling, reliable set of storage accounts managed by Azure Backup and isolated from customer tenants to provide additional security. Charges for storage are separate from the cost of Azure Backup Protected Instances.
By default, all backup data protected by Azure Backup go into the Standard tier. For backups with long term retention (monthly and yearly backups with retention longer than 6 months), you have the option to move them to the Archive tier. Learn more.
In Standard tier, you have the flexibility to choose between locally redundant storage (LRS), zone redundant storage (ZRS) or geo-redundant storage (GRS) for your backups. If you enable cross-region-restore, we upgrade your backup storage from GRS to read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS).
Your backup data can be moved to Archive tier via policy or by running specific PowerShell commands on chosen backups.
Instant Restore option creates snapshots that are present in Disks and are charged as Disk snapshots. Learn more.

Early deletion
In addition to the per-GB, per-month charge, any back up data that is moved to the Archive tier is subject to an Archive early deletion period of 180 days. This charge is prorated. For example, if a back up is moved to the Archive tier and then a “Stop Protection and Delete data” is performed on the associated data-source, you will be charged an early deletion fee for 135 (180 minus 45) days of Back up Storage in Archive tier.
Rehydration
Restoring from the Standard tier of Back up Storage is free of charge and does not incur any transaction or egress charges. However, when you restore data from the Archive tier, a one-time data retrieval fee is charged. The charges are same as the data retrieval charges for Azure Blob storage. Learn more.

However, when you restore data from the Archive tier, a one-time data retrieval fee is charged. The charges are same as the data retrieval charges for Azure Blob storage. Learn more.
Back up for Azure Blobs
Operational back up for blobs is a managed, local data protection solution that lets you protect your block blobs from various data loss scenarios like corruptions, blob deletions, and accidental storage account deletion. The back up data is not stored in a Back up Vault. To learn more about operational back up for blobs see blobs documentation.
You won't incur any management charges or instance fee when using operational back up for blobs. However, you will incur the following charges:
- Restores are done using blob point-in-time restore and attract charges based on the amount of data processed. For more information, see point-in-time restore pricing.
- Retention of data because of soft delete for blobs, Change feed support in Azure Blob Storage, and Blob versioning.
Back up for Azure Disks
Azure Back up uses incremental snapshots of the managed disk. Incremental snapshots are charged per GiB of the storage occupied by the delta changes since the last snapshot. The snapshots created by Azure Back up are stored in the resource group within your Azure subscription and incur Snapshot Storage charges. For more details about the snapshot pricing, see Managed Disk Pricing. Because the snapshots aren't copied to the Back up Vault, Azure Back up doesn't charge a Protected Instance fee and Back up Storage cost doesn't apply.
Incremental snapshots are always stored on standard storage, irrespective of the storage type of parent-managed disks and are charged based on the pricing of standard storage. For example, incremental snapshots of a Premium SSD-Managed Disk are stored on standard storage. By default, they are stored on ZRS in regions that support ZRS. Otherwise, they are stored on locally redundant storage (LRS). The per GiB pricing of both the options, LRS and ZRS, is the same.
Back up for Azure Kubernetes Service
Azure Back up offers Kubernetes aware back up solution allowing customers to protect containerized applications and data within Persistent Volumes deployed in an AKS cluster. The back up data created by Azure Back up is stored in your storage account and incurs blob storage charges and volumes are stored as Disk snapshots incurring disk snapshot charges.
An AKS Protected instance is defined as the AKS Cluster being configured for backup.
- The protected instance fees is determined by number of Namespaces within AKS cluster selected to be backed up within a Protected Instance.
| AKS Protected Instance | Azure Back up price per month |
|---|---|
| Namespaces in each instance | $- per Namespace |

Frequently asked questions
High-level overview
-
The new pricing model for Azure Back up has two components:
- Protected instances: This is the primary billing unit for Azure Back up. Customers pay for the number of instances that are protected with the Azure back up service
- Storage: Customers can choose between Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) or Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) for their back up vault. The net price for Storage depends on the amount of data stored with the service.
These two components appear as separate line items on the monthly Azure bill.
-
A protected instance refers to the computer, physical or virtual server you use to configure the back up to Azure. An instance is protected once you configure a back up policy for the computer, server, or database, and create a back up copy of the data. Subsequent copies of the back up data change the amount of storage consumed, but additional back up copies don’t add to the number of protected instances. Some common examples of protected instances are virtual machines, application servers, and personal computers running the Windows operating system. For example:
- A virtual machine running the Hyper-V or Azure IaaS hypervisor fabric. The guest operating systems for these virtual machines can be Windows Server or Linux.
- An application server with physical or a virtual machine running Windows Server and workloads with data to back up. Common workloads are Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange server, Microsoft SharePoint server, Microsoft Dynamics, and the File Server role on Windows Server. To back-up or protect these workloads, you’ll need Azure Back up Server or System Centre Data Protection Manager, DPM.
- A personal computer running the Windows operating system.
- SQL Server which includes all databases on the server.
If you choose to back up a virtual machine hypervisor fabric and its guest workload, the hypervisor fabric and the guest workload are treated as separate protected instances and are charged independently.
-
No, from a billing perspective, instances are classified into three categories based on the size of the instance. The price per protected instance depends on the categorisation of the instance in the pricing table above. Note that the prices in the above table do not include Storage which is a separate charge.
-
Customers will not be charged for any restore operations or outbound network bandwidth (egress) that is associated with restore operations.
-
The new pricing will be applicable to all Azure Back up customers.
Protected Instances
-
No, usage is prorated based on the number of days in a month that an instance has been protected.
-
All data stored with Azure Back up is billed per the back up storage rates listed above, for the duration that the data is kept with Azure Back up. However, increasing retention does not impact the software price for protected instances that you pay. Note that you must have the latest Azure Back up agent installed on the machine to ensure this behaviour.
-
For as long as your data is retained with Azure Back up, you will continue to pay for both Protected Instances and Storage. Your Protected Instances note is based on the size from the last successful back up before you decided to stop protection. Your Storage note is based on the total amount of data stored in the back up vault for that instance.
For example, take the back up of a 100GB virtual machine. The Protected Instance charge is $- per month. Every day 1 GB of data is added and the data is retained for 120 days, and you are charged Storage for that separately. After 1 month if you decide the stop protection of the virtual machine but retain the data in Azure Back up, then you will be charged $- per month until the back up data is explicitly deleted by you.
-
Yes, the Azure Back up agent needs to be upgraded to the latest version to take advantage of the new pricing. Using an older agent will adversely impact the size of protected instances being billed.
-
The new pricing will be applicable to all Azure Back up customers.
Back up storage costs
-
All data stored with Azure Back up is billed per the back up storage rates listed above.
-
This depends on the storage choice selected for the back up vault. The choice of storage for the back up vault are: Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) or Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS).
-
Yes. The back up data in each vault will be billed at the appropriate LRS or GRS Block Blob rates for the region where the vault is located. The customer has complete control of the Azure storage bill with the vault choices that are picked.
-
The total amount of back up data held in Azure Back up (the “backend size”) for a specific Protected Instance can change due to the following factors:
- Retention period of the backed-up data
- Net new churn stored in each recovery point
- Level of compression achieved on the back up data
- Frequency of the scheduled back up jobs
- Any associated back up metadata
-
The back up vault Dashboard page will show the total data from the machine registered to the vault. It will also show the type of storage used for the back up vault.
-
As with the current pricing, you do not have to pay for storage transactions with Azure Back up. These are included as a part of the software price that you pay.
Networking costs
-
ExpressRoute charges are not covered by Azure Back up. The customer will continue to pay for Azure Back up independently and for ExpressRoute based on the port speed that has been selected.

*Azure storage is billed additionally based on back up choices. -
For protecting the 250GB of SQL Server databases to Azure Back up, the SQL Server is treated as a protected instance. Since the size of the protected instance is greater than 50GB but less than 500GB, the price is $- per month. If the virtual machine is also backed-up to Azure Back up, it is counted as another protected Instance. Since the virtual machine size is between 50GB and 500GB, its price is also $- per month.
Virtual machine back up and in-guest workload back up are charged independently.
-
Yes, when using the MAB server to back up data locally you will still be charged the per instance back up service fee. However, since the data is only being backed up locally, you will not incur any Azure storage charges.
