Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Storage Reserved Capacity Archive?
It is a commitment to purchase a specific amount of Azure Archive Storage capacity for a fixed term, typically 1 or 3 years, at a discounted rate. This ensures capacity availability and predictable costs for your long-term data archiving needs.
What is Locally Redundant Storage (LRS)?
LRS protects your data by replicating it synchronously three times within a single Azure region. This provides durability against local hardware failures but does not protect against regional disasters.
