Microsoft Azure Stack is an extension of Azure—bringing the agility and innovation of cloud computing to your on-premises environment and enabling the only hybrid cloud that allows you to build and deploy hybrid applications anywhere. We bring together the best of the edge and cloud to deliver Azure services anywhere in your environment. Backup for Azure VMs and on-premises servers Prices listed below are applicable when using any of the following components to backup your VMs or physical servers – Azure IaaS VM Backup, Azure Backup (MARS) agent, System Center DPM, or Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS). The size of the backed-up data determines the pricing for Azure Backup in each protected instance before compression and encryption. For virtual machines, the size of the allocated disk determines the data size.
When backing-up files and folders, the size of the files and folders configured for backup determine the data size. When backing-up SQL Server, the size of the databases configured for backup determine the data size.

You have the flexibility to choose between locally redundant storage (LRS) or geo-redundant storage (GRS). Both LRS and GRS are Block Blob Storage. Charges for storage are separate from the cost of Azure Backup.
Size of each instance Azure Backup price per month Instance 50 but 500 GB $- for each 500 GB increment + storage consumed 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 two 500 GB increments and $- for the remaining 200 GB data. Backup for SQL Server on Azure VMs (Preview) The size of the backed-up data before compression and encryption determines the pricing for using Azure Backup for SQL Server on Azure VMs. When backing-up SQL Server running on an Azure VM, the size of the databases configured for backup determines the size of each instance. When backing-up SQL Server availability groups, the size of the databases configured for backup on an availability group determines the size of each instance. You have the flexibility to choose between locally redundant storage (LRS) or geo-redundant storage (GRS).
Both LRS and GRS are Block Blob Storage. Charges for storage are separate from the cost of Azure Backup. Size of each instance Azure Backup price per month Instance 500 GB $- for each 500 GB increment + storage consumed 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 two 500 GB increments and $-. for the remaining 200 GB data. Prices listed are preview rates i.e. 50% of General Availability prices. A protected instance refers to the computer, physical or virtual server, or database you use to configure the backup to Azure. An instance is protected once you configure a backup policy for the computer, server, or database, and create a backup copy of the data.
Subsequent copies of the backup data change the amount of storage consumed, but additional backup copies don’t add to the number of protected instances. Some common examples of protected instances are virtual machines, application servers, databases, 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 backup. 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 Backup Server or System Center 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 backup 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. Are all protected instances priced the same? For as long as your data is retained with Azure Backup, you will continue to pay for both Protected Instances and Storage. Your Protected Instances bill is based on the size from the last successful backup before you decided to stop protection. Your Storage bill is based on the total amount of data stored in the backup vault for that instance.
For example, take the backup of a 100GB virtual machine. The Protected Instance charge is $- per month. Every day 1GB 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 Backup, then you will be charged $- per month until the backup data is explicitly deleted by you. Do I need to upgrade my Azure Backup agent?
For protecting the 250GB of SQL Server databases to Azure Backup, 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 Backup, 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 backup and in-guest workload backup are charged independently. If I use the Microsoft Azure Backup (MAB) server to backup data locally and not to Azure am I still charged for service usage?
