Frequently Asked Questions
What is Azure Archive storage?
Azure Archive storage is the lowest cost tier for cloud storage, designed for data that is accessed very infrequently and retained for long periods, such as regulatory archives or long-term backups.

LRS means your data is copied synchronously three times within a single physical location in the US West region. This protects against local hardware failures but not against regional disasters.
Can I access data stored in Archive tier?
