Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between LRS and GRS for snapshots?
Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) replicates your data within a single data center or across multiple data centers within one Azure region. Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) replicates data to a secondary region, offering higher durability against regional outages. LRS is generally more cost-effective for snapshot protection.
How long are snapshots retained?
Snapshot retention policies are configurable within Azure. You can set specific retention periods based on your business and compliance needs. This license enables the creation and management of those snapshots.
Can I restore individual files from a snapshot?
Yes, you can mount a snapshot and browse its contents to restore individual files or folders, or you can restore the entire file share to the state captured by the snapshot.
