    Protected Data Size Calculation

    Cloud Backup for IaaS + PaaS provides a discover tool to help you accurately calculate the protected data size across your services, ensuring proper subscription planning.

    This tool offers a script package to calculate data size for multiple services, including Azure VM, Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, Azure DevOps, and Amazon EC2. Download the script package here.

    NOTE

    It is recommended to download the DevOps script to a separate empty folder and run it from there, outside of any existing repository folder, to avoid unexpected issues.

    The capacity-based subscription cost is determined by the size of the protected data. Here's how we charge based on protected data size across different services:

    • Azure VM - Sum of disk sizes.

    • Azure Storage - Size of file shares and blobs in your storage account.

    • Azure SQL Database - Data space allocated size.

    • Amazon EC2 - Sum of disk sizes.

    • Azure DevOps - Comprehensive total, including 1GB base allocation for organizational metadata, wiki attachments sizes, work item attachments sizes, and repository sizes.

      NOTE

      The discover tool can only calculate the repository sizes. Since it doesn't capture wiki and work item attachments sizes, it's recommended to add a cost buffer to your subscription capacity to account for these attachments storage requirements.
