Pricing of Cloud Backup
The backup fee of Cloud Backup consists of the backup software usage fee, backup storage fee, and traffic fee. The traffic fee is incurred based on the outbound traffic over the Internet and the cross-region replication traffic of backup vaults.
You are charged for disaster recovery in Cloud Backup based on the usage of disaster recovery software and the cross-region replication traffic for disaster recovery. ECS charges you additional fees for other disaster recovery resources, including shadow ECS instances and their disks, snapshots at recovery points, and ECS instances that are created during disaster recovery drills and data recovery.
If a VM is migrated to the cloud, Cloud Backup charges you only for the usage of the migration software. You are not charged the preceding backup fees.

Database backup fee
Cloud Backup allows you to back up Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL databases that run on ECS instances or on-premises servers. You are not charged for software usage in Hybrid Backup Recovery (HBR). Only the backup vault that you use for backup data storage is billed. The total backup vault fee consists of the following two types of fees. The locally redundant storage (LRS) and zone-redundant storage (ZRS) methods are supported.
1. Backup vault rental fee. You are charged a fixed rental fee for each database backup vault. A backup vault can store the backup data of multiple databases that reside in the same region. Each database backup vault provides a free quota of 100 GB on the storage space.
2. Database backup storage fee. If the size of backup data stored in a backup vault exceeds 100 GB, you are charged for the storage of the excess data.
