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 .
*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.
