Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Archive Storage and other Azure storage tiers?
Archive storage is designed for data that is accessed very infrequently and has the lowest storage cost but the highest retrieval cost and latency. Other tiers like Hot or Cool are optimized for more frequent access.
What does RA-GRS mean for my data?
RA-GRS means your data is replicated to a secondary geographic region within the US Gov VA environment, providing high durability and read access from both primary and secondary locations.
Can I access my archived data quickly?
Retrieval from archive storage can take several hours, as it is designed for long-term retention rather than immediate access. This is a trade-off for the significantly lower storage cost.
