Hi,
I was wondering if someone could please give me a straight answer in regards to Azure Backup utilising Azure Backup Server.
I'm struggling to get any response out of Azure support, Microsoft Partner support don't want to know because it includes the word 'Azure' and everything I read seems to conflict with other information ive read.
I really don't think the 'protected instances' information is that clear and this is what I'm struggling with the most, below is the scenario for which I need to give my customer an estimated price for:
Physical Server 1:
Need to back up the following:
C: 90GB
D: 250GB
Bare Metal / System State
Physical Server 2:
C: 45GB
D: 95GB
H: 100GB
Bare Metal / System State
This server also runs SQL and therefore we want granular SQL restore of 1 database sized 20GB.
I fully understand the pricing brackets of protected instances but have little understanding of what a protected instance is.
Can anyone tell me how many protected instances this equals? Is it one per volume, one for SQL and one per server? Or 1 per server and 1 for SQL? or 1 per server, 1 per volume, 1 per bare metal/system state and 1 for SQL?
I think this really needs some clarity in the documentation.
Ive also seen conflicting information regarding whether you do or don't get charged for data egress on restores, if someone could help here as well that would be great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
