Backup Storage Cost

Backup storage is the total storage consumed by all backup vaults and mirror vaults. This backup storage fee is applicable for all non-database backup types (including File Systems, NAS, OSS, Tablestore, SAP HANA etc). While database backup (MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server) storage is charged differently. Please see Database Backup Fee lower this page.

HBR provides 2 redundancy levels for backup storage.
1. Local Redundant Storage (LRS): This is the default level. Backup data is replicated locally in one availability zone.
2. Zone Redundant Storage (ZRS): Backup data is replicated across three availability zones. Losing one zone does not impact the availablity of the data.

Storage Type Charge Unit Per Month Cost Per Hour Cost
Backup Storage (LRS) Per GB US$0.031870 US$0.000044
